Polishing my resume to complete a career transition at age 37. I've found one job that I feel really excited about; now to make my resume stand out among all the younger graduates out there.

What are some reasons you might hire a junior dev who got started later in life over a younger candidate?

Autism representation? in MY Monster Hunter Wilds?! Definitely not what I was expecting. "Thing is, my brain doesn't work like other people's. [...] Sometimes, you're just going to have to spell it out for me. I can take it, y'hear?"

If you get exhausted and burn out and give up, you lose. If you stay in, you win. Just by existing, you win!

So taking little breaks for joy is fine! Good actually!

Helping other people find joy, gives you joy too! Joy is conserved! The laws of thermodynamics have nothing to say about joy!

oh ONE HUNDRED percent. 💯💯💯
I don't (know if I) have ADHD. But a great tip is "Work like a software engineer." Because a lot of software engineers have undiagnosed ADHD, and they don't know that a lot of the accepted strategies for writing code, are mechanisms for being productive for undiagnosed ADHD.

Not joking.

Eg...
Question 4. Do you have any strategies that help you stay productive?

Here's why I'm wary of cryptocurrencies: their rollercoaster volatility and unpredictable rise-and-fall dynamics.

If fiat currency's a dud, then crypto's an even bigger dud.

What we truly need is authentic decentralization.

beginner developer idea: I'm sure there are frameworks/libraries/engines/whatever that do this, but it'd be cool to see how many different kinds of games you can make using a single set of simplified assets. I'm imagining making 3 MH-like bosses out of 3 Pkmn-like starters lol
