              It has been a while since I applied anywhere… but they all want degrees and professional experience last time I looked :(

              Idk maybe I should start applying again sometime. It’s not like I have a resume to show them beyond retail/supply chain work though lol. I don’t even have contributions to open-source projects to show tbh. I never finish any of my projects. doomjak

                  I actually have worked on a few open-source projects but I never submitted my patches… then I forget about them and they get lost to time lol. On stock OpenBSD (which I run), my desktop PC’s audio is kinda broken (long story, can link you a post I made about it if you’re curious) so I had to patch the OpenBSD kernel Intel HDA (corpo acronym but the last letter means “audio”) driver to make it work properly (had to add a whole new mode of operation for what I think is probably broken hardware, like my motherboard manufacturer fucked it up). I’m still maintaining that patch on my own lol, I need to submit it.

                  It’s good advice and I don’t mind, I’m just maining untreated ADHD rn, maybe that’s why I don’t do these things

                  As for my own projects… these grand and often probably ridiculous ideas for software (recent example: video game as a filesystem) come into my head and I hack on them obsessively for a while and never finish them because of the scale :(
