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.
hit a rockstar rail of coke off the toilet seat
the tank, you're supposed to use the toilet tankI'm new to this industry. Also explains why the coke smells like shit.
which nostril should I go with
alternate them, and make sure to wash thoroughly with sterile saline spray before you go to bed
How'd I guess someone was gonna come along with an actual answer to that rofl
Hell yes, good luck. Having done both freelance and full-time web work, freelancing is cool and all, but having a steady paycheck where you don't have to figure out taxes or where the next gig is coming from is such a relief
What are you using to build static sites these days? I enjoyed working with Astro a while back
Actually I'm using Astro and Tailwind lol. Back in the day when I was first learning and making small web sites it was all WordPress and Bootstrap and I kind of hated it. But I really like how Astro feels a bit more organized and modern. And Tailwind is just freaking great. The joke I made to a friend was that I was gonna go with Flowbite(Tailwind framework), AstroJS, ReactJS, and TypeScript as my stack just so I could call it the FART stack, and funny enough that's actually what all I am using for my current templates rofl. I'd rather do full-time web dev but can't land a job to save my life.
Honestly I just want a remote job, doesn't even have to pay that well. I'll go to so many damn zoom meeting I don't care.
My last job was remote and it was legit.
I think this insurance thing is a MLM scam so probably won't bother. If I can get the freelance thing going though it would be super nice to work for myself and set my own hours.
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.
