Entirely front-end as a job, but have my own dell server and play around with automation surrounding my website all the time. I did engineering software/product support and IT in the past, so back-end isn't entirely foreign to me but I wouldn't even consider putting that on my resume.

My specialty as of late has been automation surrounding javascript/selenium/python for various healthcare companies but I have also used that skillset for viewbots for various SMM portals (Spotify/Tiktok/Instagram/SoundCloud views/favorites/follows/etc).

Depending on the anti-bot methodology I either use Selenium w/ proxies or just use the programs API calls (such as w/ Spotify).

Passive income on things like this has been fairly nice w/ my schedule, but I am looking for a change of pace if I can manage to find a company that would work with me.

Yeah the job market seems really tough right now, and it seems even more hopeless for somebody like myself but I'm keeping out hope 😅

Most of my experience is with automation surrounding javascript/selenium/python for various healthcare companies. I own my own dell server and used to work in engineering software/product support, so the realm of devops isn't entirely foreign to me but I certainly wouldn't say I have a lot of "skills" associated with it other than the ability to google my ass off.

Have any suggestions on cheaper certs that might be worthwhile?

The pricing has always been the part that turned me off of most certs, just having looked through a couple of them Security+ is >$500 which seems insane to me.

Have applied via the state and via the federal gov. Nobody I've worked with has talked about a % based system, and when I search for it I only see things related to Veterans.

Is that a thing for SSI? Do you know if it only applies to veterans?

Not entirely sure if they cater to Americans, but I do see that Germany recently opened up their "chancenkarte" opportunity visas this month.

Gunna check it out and put in-person for Germany. Appreciate it.

Looking for a change in work and would love suggestions on how to find jobs with understanding bosses and/or odd hours. I can always get my work done, but I tend to put in bizarre hours for my own projects due to the ebb/flow of chronic pain.

For me personally, I would prefer to work 16 hours on my good days and 0 hours on the days I can barely see straight because of migraine-level pain in my neck and back.

I'm currently working in San Francisco and have major issues getting to/from work without my entire day being focused on work-related travel (not to mention spending all of my time at home recuperating for the next work day)

I would take a massive pay cut to have a job from home with an understanding boss. Country is entirely irrelevant to me if they speak English and accept foreigners; otherwise, I know 2nd-grade-level Spanish, German, and French.

  • Is going through a recruiter a good idea?
  • Would there be any agencies that work specifically with disabled workers?
  • If not, what are good websites for actually getting call-backs on dev jobs?

I have all of the requirements for a home gig (desk, monitors, multiple computers, home server, webcam, etc), is there a way to subtly express that to a potential hiring manger?

My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan.

This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery..

What's the point of the sidebar's rules if the mods are going to bury their heads in the sand about the lemmy.world-lib bot-farm

Fairly tired of the lemmy.world crowd and their.. interesting moderation style.

Lemmy hasn't implemented instance blocks yet, so here is my question:

Any scripted way to block-all for the LW bot-fest?

Is there any consideration of a de-federation with LW?

Or is the entire point of a more anarchy-leaning instance to have 0 moderation db0?

Fine with either outcome/method; just sick of going through every single community any time they spin up a new neolib/cia shithole.

Picture above: "Text with 'Top Hour' as the search function" followed by a comment from 2 months ago

I'm willing to give this my best college try to code around.

Categorizing a particular user's posts manually is far more work than its worth, but I also have a script for user-lookups that I might suggest adding as well.

No notice for 20,000 layoffs? Oops, 2 weeks from... uh, 2 weeks ago.

The key is to dip after changing the password on the vital database they decided one person was enough to manage ;)

Yet another company hurting massively for their bad bets in physical office space.

Silly boomers, it's 2023.

Good luck keeping down a solid dev team when other companies offer far more money and I don't leave the comfort of my own home

The amount of amazon > google grift in the comments as if they're not both spying on you is so cute :)
