I recently got fired from my software dev job and am really considering going freelance at this point. I'm working on learning Kotlin and wanna build a few small apps over the next year or so to fill out a portfolio and then will go from there. My last job was remote and I thought that wold have fixed the "working with a bunch of people" issue but then my boss put me on support calls and I wasn't able to focus on the programming like I wanted to.

Also the "playing support" idea is really great and I don't know why people don't consider it. I can see it help especially with junior level developers like myself but also help you as the tutor, so to speak.

Gonna read the link, but out of curiosity, about how long into a job would you say you burn out at? I will start a job and then after about 6 or so months "the shine wears off" and I always fall back into this going through the motions and day dreaming mode.

So I have a tendency of not holding a job for more than 2 years and then will often have gaps in between. I never considered this as part of the equation.

Preface to say self diagnosed currently.

Idk why but this reminded me of the one time I made Yoda for a 5e one-shot. He was a goblin Eldritch Knight. I only made him because the dm allowed me to roll a goblin lol.

I suck at spelling regardless lol. Whenever I try to spell either, autocorrect is still like "da fuck?"

I had coffee with a guy yesterday for potential help with employment in a programming position for a non-profit org and he dropped the "I'm as left as the come" line. Instead of rolling my eyes u was like ok how left are you, thinking he'd say liberal Dem or some shit. He replied with "anarcho-syndicalist." Showed him my AnCom button on my hat and we ended up talking theory for like an hour after discussing programming stuff. It was really a cool experience and in the Bible Belt nonetheless. He recommended Thomas Picketty to me and I said I would send him the Where's the Winter Palace blog that was posted on Grad a while back. The whole ass thing was based lol.
