My offer stands. If anyone needs a hand finding work, let me know. I’ve already reviewed 9 websites and 4 CVs. Which, by the way, were rad.

I keep seeing those layoffs and it makes me sad. Capitalism is punching down right now. Forcefully. Maybe I can help someone survive it. Hit me up if that’s you.

Are you looking for work? How can I help? If you want feedback on a portfolio, résumé, or whatever…you can call on me. Pro bono.

Lots of folks are trying to find work. It can be a lonely and exhausting process. If I can do anything to make that process easier or more productive and help get you hired, it I’d be honored.

My DMs are open. I got you.

@markwyner oh wow, if you have any tips for a DevOps engineer that’s been out of work for 17 months now I would appreciate it! I have been applying everywhere I can and am not even getting a nibble

First of all, this is super cool of you! Thank you for helping others.

But mainly, what advice do you have for someone who has worked in the dev space (really, manual QA) and is just not on board for the inevitability of all the things going AI? I guess learning a trade and starting over in your early 40s is doable, but the scenario ... just sucks.

Listen… I don't want to step on the queue, but can you get me the Workday PM address?

…or some web automation toolkits, I'm not picky…

@Gina this is anarchy and resistance. If we all work together, we weaken the systemic structures that billionaire fascists are trying to aggressively impose upon us.

@markwyner together matters because it's a LONG HAUL and we need to spell each other.

@markwyner beautiful. I'm not (currently) in the design or IT worlds, but I think about the former and their intersection a LOT. In any case, I may just reach out

@markwyner got anything remote? I cant go back to assembly and am really struggling with a very poorly paid remote job.

Urf. I'd love to take advantage of this, but I'm hoping to skate through at least the next year or so at my current gig & then f'ing •retire•* (public sector web work).

I do find myself fantasizing about what the next thing could be, though. Something in water conservation and/or renewables.

What a trip it would be to have a job I actually •wanted•....

* Assuming ofc the economy isn't irretrievably crashed by then....

(Reminds me, I need to look at retirement numbers....)

@cavyherd I love that you’re thinking this way. And I believe you’re not alone. If I didn’t LOVE what I do for a living as much as I do, I’d probably enjoy thinking about a new journey.
