Mister Neon

I’ve been applying to entry level jobs for months. I was a frontend developer and designer with ten years experience. I now have a PMP, PMI-ACP, and PSM I certifications. I have a resume with a high ATS score. I’ve only been met with silence from jobs. The only work I’ve found is working for a grocery store part time. It’s not covering my bills.

I don’t want to hurt anyone. I’m hungry and I may be homeless soon. What’s the point of being moral if nobody will help me when I’m at rock bottom?

I’m feeling really old. It’s hard to keep trying and failing at my age. There are no jobs and I don’t have anyone to lean on for financial support.

I’m not in shape. I don’t think I could survive basic training. I’m running out of options.

I’m 40. I haven’t found full time work in a year. I might have to join. I don’t want to lose my house. Nobody will miss me if I die overseas.

I used to live in that area!

A pillar of fire would make the place look better.

This is from 4 Dec 2025. Got anything more recent? I think things have only gotten worse.

Yes. I’ll go fix that.

I can’t even get Copilot to write Vitest files for React without making a mountain of junk code that describes drivel.

Then get off Twitter!? I don’t understand normies.

I’ve been looking for work since April. I’m so fucked.

I can’t think of any other options that don’t end in the best case scenario of myself being elderly and destitute.

I’m absolutely not charismatic enough to pull that off.

I was a frontend developer and UI/UX designer that specialized in JavaScript and Typescript with emphasis on React. I’m learning Python for Flask. I’m skipping meals so I can afford Udemy courses then AWS certifications. I don’t enjoy any of this and I’m falling apart.

I hope this is true. I would like to have a job again.
