2007 wasn’t a good year to start a new career, as it turned out.

Fuck me man, I entered tech in 2008, a miserable time to be job hunting.

At least Wordsmith Dot Social is half-abandoned and has no comment system, so I won’t have to deal with techbros batting for billionaires or preaching the power of Open Source (™ Open Source Initiativeⓡ).

Ah, too bad this is the cross post from HackerNews! I haven't looked at the bad orange site comments yet but if tradition holds, they'll be even worse than predicted.

Does that mean it falls to us, the Lemmings, to preach about open source?
