So uh, is anyone looking to hire a developer with an uncomfortable amount of knowledge about #atproto and #activitypub, experience building from scratch and running a social network (@ludumdare.com), hacking on GPU drivers/network protocols/the Linux kernel, plus a couple decades as a pro gamedev? 🤷

Shit... no job. Ah well, you can't say I didn't try. 🤷

Please share! 🙏 I've built NUMEROUS game engines, even game making middleware FROM SCRATCH: youtu.be/qpiVEcjV1y0?... I architected, built the server+protocol, and ran the infrastructure for a real-time online PVP multiplayer game: youtu.be/-nbDMBDqins?... Even built a weird WebKit browser. 🤷

I've been trying to get out of the "building video games" niche, applying for jobs with Linux distro/OS companies, a social network (😉), even a few web browser companies, but nada. 🤷 Well not nada, but IT SUCKS getting a big fat nope after weeks/months of back and fourths. 🥲💜
