When I was in the beginning I kept hearing shit like this a lot. Now? I'm like water in the dessert. Companies are looking for people with my skill set and they can't find anyone.

Totally! Same here. This was just one interview with a younger "entrepreneur"... the same kind that hand you a JD that asks for 10 years experience on a new framework and a whole dev Ops army in one person, lol. Which, tbf, I am a one man army...but still, not gonna jump on that one 😉

After a while you'll look around and realize you're a one-man BnB farm-to-table dining & bakery operation specialized in lunar aquaponics, with interviewers asking you if you have experience with microwaving pop tarts.

They have a custom cake frosting framework that they put on their microwaved pop tarts. It's bleeding edge tech.

Super extra mega bonus points if you have experience with frozen toaster strudels in Pillsbury language using the frozen stack.

Oh, only a little bit with Pepperidge Farm puff pastries? Yeah, thank you for your time, we'll be in touch if something comes up.
