Hey Tim,

Upwork. Create a profile as a technical writer, and put links to your docs.

I've picked up partime gigs for API documentation, product usage documentation / User Guide, with screenshots and gifs on that platform. If you are US based, even better cos lot of Companies want to hire US based freelancer for TAX reasons and what not.

Upwork search for client even has a filter that says "US only" and I've used that as a client also, to hire freelancers from within US.

Besides traditional technical writing, there are also gigs for Technical blog posts on various subjects. Avoid the one-off gigs that are low paying, and focus on startups or companies that have already paid for other gigs (you can see it in their profile).

20$ arm from Amazon works just as well.

> Do you feel the chair does justice to the price?

Was thinking the same thing. Also what about the $300+ Monitor Arm. First time seeing someone pay an arm and length for an arm.

> How has this affected me? I’ve mentally atrophied. I now feel like I can’t talk about any subject with more than a centimeter of depth. A half a decade ago, I could dive with you to the penetralia of convergence theorems of hypergeometric series, but now I cannot. Even my programming has taken a toll even though I do it every day. I find myself abstaining from studying advanced topics in programming and computer science, and instead sticking to this comfort zone of what I know.

How does one go about overcoming mental atrophy? Especially after spending a decade or more programming, I think most (if not all) developers battle with this problem...

If any one of you has successfully done this, please share.

Nice work! Looks like HN / Reddit in terms of functionality and layout.

Really impressed that you've built all the features like RSS crawler, taxonomy, user and role management etc.

Calling Sex Workers 'Models' is kinda rich.

> #2, you can walk into a Target and by prepaid SIM cards

That is in direct violation of #1.

>#1 ....from somewhere without cameras

Target has cameras everywhere, even OUTSIDE the Restroom (for "Loss Prevention") and inside the elevators between floors, as well as at self-checkouts and customer service kiosks.

My cats love me to death. I never force myself on them and never try to train them to obey me, greet me etc.

We think cats are "unfriendly" because they do their own thing, and don't OBEY people like Dogs. When an animals doesn't obey you and do your biding, you think they are "unfriendly".

Cats are also not "reward" oriented like Dogs, i.e. you can't "train" a cat to obey you and do your biding by giving it rewards like you can with Dogs.
