Nine Elby?

For non-speakers, it's a bunch of scribbly lines.

I've seen 3 already in as many days. Hopefully it's learning...

It doesn't drive through parking lots right... at any moment a car can come backing up, but the daft Tesla just sails through like an idiot.

But this is the operator's fault. Let go of the button! It stops!

Not 'response'. The word is 'respond'.

Yeah kids talk funny nowadays!

Not really,... it's always been like that with children.

It is disturbing how many adults do it, trying to act 'cool' and talking like that.

You do you? I would lose that ridiculous phrase. It's super condescending and not needed. No one needs your permission to be themself, or even a 'reminder'.

Yeah, I am in my mid 40s, and it was wild to interview for a new job after 5 years. Things have really changed in that short time.

I posted a portfolio that showed, if you want this, hire me! My resume was standard, listing out my projects and summarizing my experience.

I had good references that I rarely shared unless it was the last stages, so they wouldn't get bombarded. I applied weekly to new opps, keeping track for the inevitable unemployment record as well.

Results: My huge project list showed my age. Some companies clearly weren't interested... they wanted new programmers, younger, not stuck in the past, etc. I couldn't understand some companies purpose, so new agey with today's internet and reddit culture.

Still, I got 20–30 emails a day! Constant phone calls, messages, occasional scams. Did 2 in-person interviews. I found a great new job, remote programming, in 3-4 months! It was a blur!

The secret is respect, communication, wisdom and quick reflexes, in my case.

Avoid Linux, Windows, etc.

For non tech users, iOS is pretty safe.

Ipad + iPhone and you're good to go. Leave the notebooks and PCs in the 80s where they belong.

The Android and iPhone made a few lives happier.

Back in my day, not everyone had a powerful pocket computer that could do Facetime!
