I ain’t a fucking boomer either
go on a couple vacations to see my grandchild
I’ve been on my own at this point for 7 years
Pick an age, Boomer.
because no one in these towns are doing it
And this is the problem with the “pick yourself up by your bootstraps and learn to code, dangit!” advice. It stops working if people follow it, because the more people are offering a service, the lower the price it can command in a labor market.
How do I know? Well, in addition to being a software engineer for over 2 decades, I also studied econ in college.
I’ve failed so many business over the years because I’ve tried so many
And who exactly paid your bills while you were busy failing?
Hey you fucking dumbass you could be in your 30s and have grandkids dumb fuck. I was in my mid 40s I’m not even 50 years old that’s solidly in the Gen x generation you dumb whit fucking hell bitch.

I paid my own bills. Worked as hard as I could to do what I needed to make it.
Also, fuck you. What fucking age do you think I am?
How old is your grandchild, fuckwit?
The only ones not paying their own bills are employers, fuckwit. Being a pick me bitch for the capitalists isn’t a good thing.

Tell you what, granpa, why don’t you lift yourself up by your bootstraps and hang yourself with them?
I tell you the same thing but obviously you can’t even afford bootstraps
Yeah, I’m a dev, not just a cable monkey. I’m just fine.
Been there, done that. Prefer doing what I do over staring at a screen, and I can’t be replaced by some vibe coding AI kid.
Yeah, given you can’t compete, probably for the best. Enjoy your bootstraps, Boomer.
