I work about ~10h a day in a agency in Brazil(and I "travel" in public transport for 4h to get there). It's my first month there, but heres the deal:

- I have a degree in comp. sci.

- I can do frontend(pretty well versed in js) to backend(rails/node.js/php, you pick)

- I can speak english(rare shit here in Brazil).

- I have done like 9000 projects that I didn't finish, my fault. Most of them were to teach myself new web technologies.

- I can draw.

... and I make $1200/month(before fucking taxes).

I want to kill myself. BADLY. IT SEENS THAT I'M THE MOST UNDERPAID PERSON IN THE WORLD, from all the effort and shit that I put into it.

I'm probably the most unsuccessful "hacker" in the world.

What should I do with my life? I don't know people that could offer me something decent. I'm serious about killing myself and dieing like a hero(after all, I've tried).

I see a lot of presentations on the web that is just a "presentation" about cucumber and rspec.

But I want to use it, so, give me resorces do learn it(I'm kinda tired of books and I know the existence of one), so, something that I can watch and interact looks better.

Also, if possible, resources to master ruby would be greatly appreciated.

So, I think it would be AWESOME to meet somebody that reads hackernews there. Anybody? :D

So... help me! :D

I've finished college and god, now I feel awful. I tried meeting some hackers through those 'find a cofounder' apps and I had a horrible experience, we just talked about 'how can we make money together' instead of having real bonds(I think that's what makes a good cofounder).

I know that much of you had awesome friends in college, or met into meetups and so on that are hackers and don't have the same sort of problem that I do, but I didn't.

So if you are laying here and feel the same emptiness, or is willing do adopt a hacker to your circle, feel free to contact me: t@art-is-t.me

or leave a message here, so I get in contact with you.

No, I'm not US based.
