If it’s actual work that suits my experience and not some pitch to buy their product, then it’d be a nice foot in the door. We’ll see how this goes.

Thank you! I knew there was something, but I wasn’t sure what.

Thanks for sharing this. I really need to listen to that podcast more.

Exactly the same company. The fact that all of their glassdoor reviews are from India made me rethink if I should follow through. We’ll see how it goes, but making a blacklist sounds pretty dope, so that’s a nice new goal.

For some reason in middle school I tried it and, for obvious reasons, couldn’t figure it out. Then in 2012-2014 Reddit kept telling everyone to learn Python. I failed that and kept trying randomly for 10 years. I’ve only recently begun making progress in web dev, which is deliberately avoided because of Reddit language opinions.

Ignoring all of that, I really like text editors for some reason, and I’m on a journey to make some. I still haven’t made any, but it’s a goal.

Question: How long does it take to get the proverbial ball rolling on Upwork? I used it for a month and spent $200+ and wasn’t able to get any work.

Similar, but in a past job, I didn’t pick up on some cues, treated a coworker like how I treat everyone, and I got yelled at by them. They told me to respect the hierarchy and that I’m not his equal - I was training for a higher position at the time. I was later let go for other reasons they wouldn’t mention.

This is my third time writing this. I just have to say, I agree with you 100%. I’ve only begun to begin to act “normal” by being treated like shit and being afraid of being myself.

I’ve even had a boss tell me to only talk about the weather. It’s grueling, dehumanizing seeing other people talk like normal, but when I do it, it’s somehow wrong.

I must say, that’s an odd default behavior since no other app I’ve tried does it like that. Regardless, removing the empty logins worked.

And half of the feed is people talking about how addicted they already are.

Are you logged into lemmy.world, too? I tried using Liftoff to upvote pretty much anything else, but I get errors like, “this thread was retrieved via lemmy.ml. You are not logged in there.”

Can confirm. Instantly better than any other app I’ve installed for Lemmy. Also, Liftoff requires you to login to each individual instance to upvote anything from that instance for some reason. Summit is great, is what I’m saying.
