This is the kind of post that really makes me worried for the future. I'm a full stack dev with 12 years of experience and I'm not entirely sure how I would do our there in the job market if I were to lose my job tomorrow. My boss says I need to get extremely familiar with vibe coding to get the edge if I were to apply around.

As others have mentioned, definitely speak with a recruiter if you haven't yet. Best of luck to you!

I replied to the OP in an adjacent post but I'll paste it here as well.

My very first track (1996) Anteros Beat

My personal favorite track (2011) Starbortorium

And my last track that I never got to finish because I got really sick (2012) I'm Not A Bargain

I was never formally trained in music but I absolutely fell in love with everything about it. I ended up writing poetry and lyrics a lot towards the end up my recording journey. I'm hoping to get back into it once my son is a bit older but I'd need to purchase a lot of gear I sold haha.

Thank you for listening. It means the world to me.

It wasn't my first RPG, but playing through Final Fantasy 6 (3 in the US) in middle school made me fall in love with music.

I ended up asking my parents for a digital piano and acoustic guitar which eventually spiraled into download ModPlug Tracker to sequent music. I didn't have a powerful computer back then so I'd record one-shot samples from my digital piano and spent a few hours each day trying to create my own music.

I stopped recording around 2012 because I got really sick and music didn't pay the bills. I'm a father now with a 5 year old son and I'm looking forward to sharing my love of music with him.

If anyone is interested, I can share one of my very early tracks and one of my last recordings to listen to. It's one of my favorite things to do, sharing the culmination of my work.

What a readability nightmare.

Oh man, I haven't applied for a new gig in the last 4.5 years so I'm sure the landscape is so much more different and difficult now.

I do have recruiters reaching out to me fairly often on LinkedIn. Is that an option for you? I know devs can be put off by recruiters. What kind of clients or companies have you written code for? I feel like that really boosts my visibility.

I'm in California and one resource I tap into often are the colleges/university job postings for software developers.

Definitely continue working on BE and creating a portfolio project that showcases your BE and DB skills.

Full-stack dev here with 13 years experience (mainly in Vue and Laravel).

Have any questions? I might be able to provide some insight. Good luck out there!

I'm honestly shocked that don't leverage that idea more where the terrain changes (unless they do later again in the series).

I started from Trails in the Sky FC two years ago and I actually regret not playing this series sooner. What's funny is I got FC as part of a bundle ages ago but never got around to playing it. I probably won't play the new remake until I finally catch up on all the games hahaha.

Just started Trails of Cold Steel 2 after beating Octopath Traveler 2. It's nice to come back to a JRPG where unit position matters. One of my favorite battle systems!

[–] DjMeas@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

For the love of everything just make Octopath Traveler 3!

It's always a good time to become a patient gamer (if you're into single player games).

 

I'm horrible with hardware and tools. All I really own is a small set of screwdrivers I bought from Daiso down the street. Everything else I have to borrow from my brother.

I didn't expect to be able to fix the broken key (a hammer mechanism inside the broken key no longer stayed in place), but with my son's craft glue and 24 hours of curing, the key is working as expected again.

I've been riding the high of fixing it all day.
