There was only ever one Xamarin CEO, Nat. Miguel was CTO

Creepy AF

I've reached out to a few hiring managers and recruiters and let them know I gave up on applying for their job because their software failed to parse my resume containing 20+ years of experience.

I truly hope whoever thought it was a good idea to stop accepting PDFs resumes, loses their job and spends the rest of their life trying to apply for jobs using these awful platforms.

Well said! I'll be keeping this in mind when searching for my next job.

At 45 I got laid off from a startup in June 2023 after trying to push through burnout for over 2 year. After 4 purely cosmetic redesigns of the product before we were even public, I just stopped caring. Our none existent customer base isn't going to suddenly buy the product if primary buttons are purple vs blue.

The next six months of trying to find a job were completely demoralizing thanks to all the other layoffs in the industry. I gave up looking and downsized my life so I could take 2 or 3 years off.

I'm slowly letting it go, but I'm still dreading having to go back to writing software. Unfortunately I haven't been able to come up with many similarly paying options to switch to. Maybe management or technical sales I guess? Maybe just getting away from frontend dev will help as well.

I decided to downsize my life by selling a relatively expensive car and my condo and see how long I can go without working.

I have no desire to go back to frontend development even though I can make way more doing that than anything else.

I'm hoping in a year or so I'll be ready to get back into tech, but right now I have no desire to. So much of the industry just seems toxic to my mental health.

I was really hoping Devin was an actual human and this was a meme.

More proof Apple is terrible at software and iOS is a broken, stagnant OS.

I love Apple's hardware, but iOS is such a turd, I'm stuck on Android even though the rest of my eco-system is Apple (MacBook, AirPods, AppleTV)

It's Trump's fault for telling his sheep not to pass the bipartisan immigration bill which included aid for Ukraine.

I was for 2 or 3 years over 10 years ago. I built apps (mostly web based) for smaller businesses and startups.

I'll likely be going back to it after being laid off last June and not being able to find the same level of pay.

I haven't pirated content in a decade but I'd estimate I'm a year or two away from going back for the reasons you stated. So sick of the rate hikes and fragmentation. Once ads become common place I'm out.

I wish someone would make a good weekly digest World News newsletter.

Every year I look for one, and every year I come up empty handed. Every newsletter is daily at a minimum.

You just have to be more hardcore
