Almost forgot today was Thursday. The day I traditionally remind the world that I'm on the hunt for a better job.

Every day that I write more code for myself I find myself less interested in writing code for a middle manager who is barely qualified for the useless task of "create more meetings."

If you're the kind of person that's going to solo dev and ship games in your spare time are you really interested in working for a studio?

I've applied to multiple game dev jobs. Even with enterprise dev experience nobody has been interested in interviewing me. The TLDR of the posts is "you have to have shipped games already or we don't care."

ICYMI: No stream tonight because I have to run some errands after work.

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 10d

Well they lost interest immediately when I said I hadn't done much React. They wanted the bubbles filled in, carefully and completely, and all else be damned.

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 10d

Kinda, I have linked people to my channel. So far only one interview where they wanted me to do React coding challenge crap as a next step soooooooooo....

Thinking about responding to all the skiddies that visit my stream to tell me to use their favorite slop machine with: "eat my ass"

I hear the internet likes controversy.

Not caring about hot takes is a hot take. Checkmate!

The other day I was watching part of one of my streams to check the outcome of a spotty connection.

I wound up doing something else with myself in the background.

I felt weird vibing to my own stream, but also good that I was hitting the mark for "chill coworking stream."

Me: Gee I slept like crap last night. I bet I'm gonna sleep well tonight.

My body: best I can do is like an hour of the hardest sleep possible and then we wake up feeling kinda wired.

Still on the hunt for a better job.

One of my favorite parts of a project is where you get to start speeding up because you've built the foundations and now you can start using them.

Why does the Spotify random music player go so much harder the later it gets?

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 23d

Hey look, it's Thursday again. Still seeking a new role where I actually use my brain.

I can code, I can DevOps, I can all the things.

No AI/crypto.

All the everything is here: mongoosestudios.github.io

The posting will continue until morale improves.

Back in my day we just used the South Park character creator to make cartoons of ourselves. We could mix and match pieces to make something fun, and the results weren't all yellow.

I wonder what percentage of my commit messages include some variation of "I'm an idiot"

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 24d

They said there was gonna be a rapture, but everyone I know seems to still be here. Not sure what that means.

Dart is certainly not going to replace Go as my favorite language, but I DO kinda like it.

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 27d

I wonder if some of the difficulty in getting meaningfully promoted these days has to do with the fact that the average middle manager can't even conceive of what smart people could do in a new role.

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 28d

Been playing around with some Flutter recently. It's pretty fun.

OK but also, he gets paid to just kinda hang out and think about swords and dragons and shit. I do that for free, all the time, on accident.

I'm actually more concerned about the amount of time I spend checked out mentally. It involves a lot of walking and talking, which is the perfect combination for no thoughts.
