No seriously, I have an interview in about 3 hours. I lied on the screener and said I LOVE working with and helping people. It's a partial lie I guess because I like helping people but not in the "corpo" way since that isn't really helping people and it's all fake as fuck...

I am already daydreaming about having the job, where I have to mask hardcore and pretend I love talking to large groups of people but only after I hit a rockstar rail of coke off the toilet seat in the restroom beforehand. I've never done cocaine before... which nostril should I go with?

I sort of maybe would be ok if I got the job but like I really wanna get this freelance web dev thing off the ground instead.

I guess it wouldn't be horrible since it's a remote gig all done via Zoom meetings but like Idk... Every time I get going on programming a fucking job comes my way and screws it all up.

Sidenote but if anyone knows someone that wants a small business-esque static website that almost doesn't suck, hit me up. I need money to pay for things like food and weed.

Idk why I made this post really. How's everyone's week going?

E: so I got a "job offer" but did some googling and it's basically a cut-through insurance job sales position, I'd be working evenings so won't see my family. Probably won't take it. Sick of this tbh.

    What's up - do you have any examples of websites you've made?

    I'm trying to create an online presence but I don't want to use Wix or GoDaddy or one of the preset builders with a subscription fee. I've been tempted to learn it myself but in terms of man hours I might just be better off paying someone to do it.

      Can you tell me what sort of online presence you are wanting? Because I know a guy that makes websites.

      Um, so my own portfolio and my business site has personal info so I can probably dm you if you promise not to doxx me pretty please lol. I also have a crummy practice site that I ended up using just to work on figuring out hosting. But I don't have a whole lot more to show yet. I am working on the early stages of building a meta-template that I will be using based on my business site.

      But my dev stack is:

      • AstroJS - a super lightweight fast static site framework with the ability to use other languages in line for dynamic stuff
      • TailwindCSS - it's a "utility first" CSS framework that let's you style inline instead of moving to a separate CSS file
      • TypeScript - for what could be called my "backend" code with is just a collection schema that acts at a database for blog stuff
      • DecapCMS - it's a no frills CMS that adds functionality for end-users to make blog posts without having to dig into code.
