Many recent creators inspired my writing more for this site which I keep as work-focused. Of note are the courage of Emma Cruise’s quitting her job, J Bae’s confessional, and Karencitta’s real life stories. How will writing here help me to
- earn money - the primary reason we work
- capitalize my skills
- explaining complex things to unfamiliar folk, relates to my liking editing on Wikipedia and being nicknamed “Walking Wikipedia” amongst friends and being a Yelp Elite member of 7 years
- tech ones, see resume or Linkedin
- empathy for the underdogs, disadvantaged
- evolving mine so they stay market relevant thus a dealbreaker to enforce this
- peacemaking, communicating across particularly large gaps
- be happy
- I value cooperation, credibility, documentation, reliability, sustainability, technical and operational excellence, transparency (closed source dispreferred but prevalent)
- stimulating conversions about more than mere work, not petty gossip
- and to avoid:
- politics
- so-called merit includes political impressions
- greed - money doesn’t motivate me beyond sustenance
- my dealbreakers: malice, unrepentant amorality, lies, illegalit
While I don’t yet start a blog and channel about the mid-career crisis, mid-life work crisis, recruitment woes, web dev job hunt, the idea has a ton of need and potential.
