Open to any backend software jobs.

I have work experience in PHP, personal experience in Java and C#, and a class or two in Python; I'm willing to learn anything. I have 5 years of team lead experience and a love of mentoring.

I guarantee I will improve any team that I'm on. Just need a shot.

It's always finances; I would need $60k a year just for child support, alimony, and rent, never mind all the other bills, food, gas etc.

It is such a sore point for me when some yahoo starts yappin' about just play what you love. I get it and share your exasperation.

No... can't I've ever wanted to play Retro 🤷‍♂️

Over the last jobless year, I've thought about becoming an auto mechanic, just to work with my hands, many times.

Okay so RetroAchievements:

Removed the Romhack
Removed the staff member pushing for it from Admin
Banned a bunch of the chuds trying to pile on
Removed some other stuff that shouldn't have been there
Reinstated and unblocked accounts that shouldn't have been

I think they're handling this right tbh
