Don't take employment advice from someone who has been unemployed for over two years.

I haven't read the article because paywall, but a "what not do to do" from an unemployed person is probably quite relevant and valuable information.

Lesson 1: if you have a story to share, don't use a paywalled product with a 99% bounce rate to share it.

Take this career advice from someone who can't get a job.

I'm sorry wasn't expecting some career advice article.

I have to pay money read about how someone isn’t making money? I can do that for free. All kidding aside good luck on finding a new contracting gig.

Paywall

It does say unemployed in the headline, gotta eat somehow I guess.

Relying on the income from even more unreliable "career" options...

If you're serious about any vocations (including being a software developer), I doubt how helpful it is to spend energy on these side hustle.

These are great hobbies though, so I'd recommend spending time on these for fun and well-being if you like it.
