It was humorous to me how every senior+ coder I worked with went through the same cycle.
New: "Wow, this is cool."
A weekish in: "This saves so much time"
A month in: "good, but a lot of time fixing after"
A few months in: "I don't use it at all anymore as it's a waste of time"

World Market has most of their line.
They're pretty spicy. I generally add a bit of siracha to ramen, and theirs absolutely doesn't need any.

Someone overseas doxxed my wife and my info from it, after I left them a bad book review on Amazon.
Death threats, swatting, endless CoD deliveries, spoofed calls as local PD to family that we'd died in car wrecks, fake fires to jobs, etc.
We deleted it after and I'll never have it on there again.

It has an exception for emergency care.
With that, the entire thing is absolute nonsense from top to bottom. It's an anti-dei bill with some "don't let nurses put evil medicine or science in my kid without permission" thrown in for fun.

That's the thing. It assumes you have something already this side gig will boost. If you don't, or if politics itself is your income, then it's not a viable path for them.

Been a good 15+ years since I have been asked, but even then my response was something along the lines of "You're kidding me, right?" or "I grew up in Bible Belt, East Texas. What do you think?"
