it seems my path to my next job is paved with “screw up each interview a little bit less until someone will hire you”

if your company has ‘dedicated’ time of the week for employee self-improvement, do you empower your dev managers/agile leaders to carve out story points for this work?

it’s great to say ‘take friday afternoons for betterment!’ but that’s 1/10th of a 2 week sprint

does anyone actually listen to the recruiter’s voicemail, take notes, and/or call them back? or do you (like me) think “i wish this was an email with a full job description i could read in its entirety myself”

i figured out recently, and please pause before you say ‘duh’ - i can’t learn when i’m super stressed. like, synapses can’t close to write the data to my brain.

i tap through to read an article on a website about how people use read-later apps to avoid advertising and blocking pop ups and this happens

that thing where that one large agency found your cell phone number somehow so now you get 5-8 calls per day from different recruiters (different area codes and numbers) about the same dubious matches they would have sent you a message on linkedin about

this time between jobs has given me an interesting perspective — i’m thinking things like “ooh, i can attend that (virtual) conference now!” but in reality, i SHOULD be able to do that even when i have a job.

While it’s been fun working on personal projects since leaving IBM, I think I’m ready to find a new position!

Is your team looking for a ux-focused front end developer?

drop me a DM and/or check out https://mikesusz.dev for more info

thanks 🙂

the second that you sign papers to buy a house, you begin accruing technical debt (in addition to all that you inherited from the previous owner)

there’s no question i was burned out. the security & compliance pivot made it way worse. i never really had a break, for years.

it’s been so long since i felt 100%. today, i sit down at my desk and look forward to building things.

now, i need to to get paid to do it again. 😄

it’s taken a month and a half for me to decompress, unwind, and actually get back to enjoying dev again. the routine of my kids being back in school has helped (not to mention some quiet in the house - we went 543 days with them home). i have so much i want to learn too!
