I'm now open to full-time direct-hire work as a Senior Technical Writer.

Please contact me about any remote opportunities.

I'd also be open to working hybrid or in an office in the metro Portland, Oregon or Vancouver, Washington area.

Real developers giving their opinion on why this sucks. I had to stop what I was doing, and actually screen cap these last 2 statements because they are so important. I quote: "If you can't be arsed to make it, why should I be arsed to play it, let alone pay you for it."

"For an engine that has easily allowed us to do so much of our game DIY with a completely in-house render pipeline and tons of in-house editor tools, it's insanely frustrating to see Unity pushing things so hard in the exact opposite direction," he wrote. Schaeffer notes he has been a devout Unity user since 2008, when he saved up money during his high school years to nab a Unity Pro educational license for $750 back when it was needed form post-screening and real-time shadows. To say he is disappointed in the company would be an understatement of some magnitude. "The engine is unmatched for me and I hate seeing it die at the hands of such a foolish company," he continued. "[...] I'd like to go on record and say fuck GenAI. Fuck the companies that have made billions developing automated plagiarism machines and fuck anyone defending it. They don't make tools, they use the Earth's resources to shove human culture into a perpetually self-feeding meat grinder." Second quote from Super Spline Studios co-founder Aron Durkin: ""If you can't be arsed to make it, why should I be arsed to play it, let alone pay you for it."

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

I've been on hold with unemployment for over 30-minutes so far and was cheerfully informed "We just updated the hold music on our unemployment hotline."

AI COMPANIES: “People who don’t use AI agents just aren’t aware of the vast power they possess to do anything.” NORMAL PEOPLE: “Wow, okay, wow. Sounds great. What can they do? Give me your top example.” AI COMPANIES: “The hardest task of all: Checking you into a flight!”

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

Tomorrow is rent and I'm so close to my goal, but I need to draw for myself or I'll lose my mind.

I'm going to go live in a moment, if you can spare any more funds my way just to get me to 100% that would mean the world to me.
