I'd be satisfied with any job in the tech industry but I'm also reaching for one that aligns with my political values as an anti-capitalist. With this in mind, does anyone have any suggestions for the job search?

    If I was hiring for a job right now, your interest and your demonstration of your understanding of the problems involved would be sufficient to me. Nobody can keep up with the tech. There's no way to do this work that doesn't involve laying your skull against an angle grinder.

    I mean can we do this or something? How about instead of mock realities we just, you know, make a fucking robot. Or an app. Or something. I've got plenty of ideas, let's see which one fits the material conditions.

      This sounds like a potentially cool avenue to follow. I have to sign off for a while, but I'd be interested in taking this discussion further afterwards.

        Yeah, not thinking we're going to kickstart some bullshit in the comments, that hasn't ever led anywhere good that I know of. My enthusiasm is due to going decades without being able to get this off my chest. My notes and my plans will still be around tomorrow.
