I've seen it all. 20 years as software engineer. 11 of them in Silicon Valley. Now I haul junk.
I have decent experience, my own projects, GitHub with thousands of stars, I spoke at tech conference in 2025. I wrote a book about Ruby (printed).
I've sent my resume thousands of times. 200+ hours of interviews in last 8 months, with no offers.
Now I haul junk. AMA.
