pick something that gives u joy even if it doesnt succeed

that'll give it the spark that's necessary

Thank you for the advice. But right now, I don't even know what to do, so to speak, no ideas. Maybe I'm in a bit of a depression, haha.

proactive work ethic

it takes at least a month to land and start a new tech job. Sorry for your situation but I'd suggest 3-4 month game plan. Dont quit your current job till u confirm a new one. But dont feel obligated to give your toxic employer any notice if u get an opportunity to start instantly.

Express + Vue

wanna try Astro though

I am curious why you said blog/youtube channel. Do you think that will help me build same kind of network?

far out dude

I followed Garry since the old days of Posterous. Seems like 5 years ago he took a turn and got obsessed with edge lordy SF politics. Finally I had to unfollow. Too much money has corrupted all the original startup role models

It's not just SF; America in general is a miserable place to socialize because nearly everyone has gotten obsessed with toxic politics there.

hybrid is the best! the company I work for does 1 day a week in-office for local employees, that's perfect
