Nothing has a moat anymore but somehow still none of the software does what I want. Interesting

lol yea, i’ve basically seen a reduction in the number of people and companies who give a fuck so i’m really not seeing much changing any time soon

I've never really been employed in the industry and my productivity is kinda shit (it's gotten way better now that MY MEDS ACTUALLY FUCKING WORK though!) so in addition to the usual imposter syndrome I have some pretty valid reasons to believe I might be inadequate?

Anyways nothing cures me of my feelings of inadequacy faster than hearing people's stories about coworkers. Sure, I may not be nearly as good as most of the software engineers I hang out with but there sure are a lot of Real Actual Employed SWEs who I am reasonably confident I can outperform.

(is finding a kind of joy in people's stories about the people they have to work with who suck at their jobs because it makes me feel better about my failings really a good thing? Prooobably not. But. It is what it is. Look, I don't seek it out on purpose!)
