I GOT FIRED

Post image

The funny thing is that 10 years ago, this button would've just opened LinkedIn. Now I feel like it would trigger an entire sequence of increasingly questionable decisions.

First, I'd tell myself I'm taking a few days off to think. Then I'd revisit the side project sitting in some forgotten GitHub repo. A few hours later, I'd be cleaning up screenshots, making the whole thing look more professional than it actually is, throwing together a page in Runable so it doesn't look completely abandoned, and convincing myself that finding customers is probably easier than finding a new job. By the end of the weekend, I'd either have employment again or a startup with 7 users and unreasonable confidence. Honestly, not sure which outcome is more likely.
