Bit of a long shot but I thought I'd give it a try.

I have no professional experience as a software developer. I do have about 10 years experience as a CNC programmer.

I've built one android app with React Native as a passion project, and have made several contributions to the Precious Plastic Community Platform on GitHub.

I'm looking for a shot to work in my real area of interest, computing, and have been applying for jobs for the last year. I did get 3 interviews, and some interest, but it's not gone anywhere.

If anyone is looking for a real junior with passion and dedication to the craft of programming hit me up.

I'm trying to think of a better analogy. At first I thought of stagnation, like how a river that gets blocked and can't flow gets filled up with algae and gunk.

But then what you said about software staying the same while the environment changes around it immediately made me think of evolution, Like any species that can't keep up with changes in it's environment, software that is not continuously updated to fit it's.

What do you think?

It's first-class. They don't exactly encourage scripting in it (which makes sense I think) but you can do what you want really. The engine itself is written in C++, and you can extend/modify it if you want since it's open source and all.

I think the key is to vote third (alternative?) party in smaller elections (mayor, state senate), and then work up.

Voting third party for congress is mostly a waste of time for now, and it doesn't seem likely that we're going to see a massive enough shift in voter participation to change that all in one go, but I think with enough effort to build up non-D/R party support at the local level that could change a lot faster than most people think.

I'm less optimistic about the presidency, really. I doubt the reigning parties will let that slip out of their hands.

Bless you, kind internet stranger! That was bugging me so much :)

Your comment reminded me of a Sci-Fi novel I read when I was a kid, it was a mystery with the background being a fully automated world, a fairly central point was that all vehicles were self-driving. Standing in front of cars to stop them was somewhere between a fad and a minor rebellion against the status quo.

Ever since self-driving cars started being a thing I keep being reminded of this book, and am half-waiting for at lease that part of it to come true.

I've been searching for a bit now, and I still haven't find it. I think it was from the 70s or 80s.
