"While I'm deeply sympathetic, the author should be discussing their issues with a therapist rather than spreading this on the internet."
I finally rage-quit and started an IT consultancy, Hermit Tech. If you're an engineer whose company is doing crazy things and there might still be room for an intervention (i.e, there must be at least one sane person in leadership), you can book time directly on my calendar and we can figure out a game plan! I've worked with some readers before and everyone had a good time. We've developed bold, innovative technology, such as not lying, the ability to explain things to laymen, and actually knowing how to ship on time.
I'm also trying out Unoffice Hours, where anyone can book time with me.
- If you're just a reader that wants to chat about whatever, you can grab me at this link. Don't pick crazy hours for yourself — you'll oversleep and have booked my calendar for no reason!
- If you live in Melbourne, this final link straight-up arranges an in-person meeting at a nice coffee place.
I read all mail without exception, and love getting it. I may not respond, but I'll always read! You can reach me at: ludicity.hackernews@gmail.com.
My podcast, "Does A Frog Have Scorpion Nature", where I talk to people I like, and sometimes find blog post inspiration.
You can also catch me on Mastodon.
