There are simply no more jobs available for the massive population we have right now. Part time economy increases employment.

Paying 5 bucks to pirate seems to be missing the point of pirating for me IMO.

I am more than happy to "take my coffee and fuck off". But I'll do it with a 50 cent instant coffee from a supermarket, not pay 10$ for it just to not be able to relax in a coffee shop.

My main issue is that they're now slowly testing the waters to see if they can make you watch ads while still paying for the subscription, and at that point, might as well take advantage of Romania's lack of law enforcement and hit the torrent websites.

I found myself on Arch Wiki for so many non-Arch issues that I decided that I'll just install Arch and use it.

Seems you were not chasing the launch enough. I've been guilty of that before, missing the development of a demo that was meant to be presented to big clients. You may wanna explore why you lacked commitment and drive for the development.

Shout out to Stanford that made it possible to start a CS education for free, for a Romanian kid who could not afford it (me). The free video course they have had up there since about 20 years was one of the foundations of my programming career now.

This is really cool, I love how you planned the entire development before with graphs.

When I was 16, I developed an mp3 player in C (I cheated and used mpg123 library). Audio players are a great way to learn about low level stuff and as a first project.

Keep developing things!

Maybe the capacity is ever expanding, like the universe, so it always has room to spare.

First of all, your situation is completely normal for the time period we live in. A few people I thought would never become homeless (web3 engineers who used to make 300K a month etc) are on the verge of it now. Pretty insane combination of a mental health and economic crisis we have going on.

>I’m willing to work. I know I can earn 3-4x more doing freelance tech, but I can’t do that from a car.

Why not? There are homeless people doing Amazon Turk from cafes in Hong Kong.

Second, you need to focus on fast money making sources. That's Lyft, shoveling snow, micro-tasks (I help people with Solana developer questions in the Raydium Discord for example, earning 100-200$ per small script), food stamps, church handouts, it does not matter. Cash quick. You need some quick money to ease up the stress so you can focus on the next big leap. You'll get to the big tech job, but until then, you need to focus on your current reality.

It's been some time that I worked with React Native, but I think you can use react-native-web to create web previews of the mobile app.

Bad e-mail management is not a responsibility on my part, and a disorganized client moving to another company is not really a threat either.

This is probably how people who never pay their debts think.

"It's ok if I am late with the bill, they will feel bad for me and never risk me reputation damage by airing out my debts".

But in the absence of a sense of responsibility or obligation, shame might be the only thing that might work to make them fulfill their obligations.

As someone with Type 2 diabetes, I am eternally grateful for everyone who works on future eye surgery advancements. Especially for people who work in tech, it's nearly a death sentence.
