Methwhale wants a real job since the "abuse research" scam isn't paying off https://imgtc.com/ASpZeLa FUCKING UP FREEBSD WASN'T ENOUGH https://archive.fo/8WRJR This is my cover letter. Randi Lee Harper Dec 6· I’ve been job searching for the past few months. Kind of quietly, because I’m in a really weird position. I’m crowdfunded, and although my field is somewhat niche, the duties involved are very broad and multi-disciplined. I’ve been doing this for a while. I really like it!  However, money is running low and there are things I really miss about working with a team within an organization. I also really miss engineering. A lot. I get to do tech work with my current position, but it’s not the same. I don’t get to collaborate. There’s no people to talk to on coffee breaks. There’s no one around to give their input or brainstorm solutions. It’s really lonely work, and I’m so ready to not be doing this anymore. This is a very difficult thing to measure, but I know this for a certainty — every medium post I’ve written on the subject of abuse has had a major impact and caused policy and feature changes. That’s a really big thing. Huge. I won’t ever be giving up on abuse research. But this doesn’t mean I need to work on it as a primary function of my job. If I find a gig that utilizes my unique skillset in that area, rad! But I’d be just as happy in a syseng or dev job or even PM or something community facing. So, here’s what is important to me. I don’t want to leave Portland. I’m perfectly willing to travel up to 75% of the time, but my home base needs to be here. Due to my current work, I’ve got some security concerns. These concerns are completely addressed as long as I stay in Portland. Moving is a very big deal. I’m not unwilling to move, but it would be complicated, it would take time, and I’d have a few stipulations. I’m good at working from home. I self manage very well. Let me keep doing this. I know that even in smaller companies, every team has it’s own problems. Be straight with me, and if there’s something significant, tell me what those problems are. Tell me how you plan on fixing any problems that might drive away good talent. I’ll listen. Holy shit, anybody who reads that and still hires this person is absolutely retarded. I will continue working on abuse research when I’m not on the clock. I’m going to continue helping people that come to me. I will continue to speak publicly. I will continue doing exactly what I am currently doing, just on a much more time restricted basis. This is non-negotiable. How can some blue haired psycho narcissist born in 1981 claim to be in tech for 20 years?  News flash blue fatty: the date you first went online and/or installed your first distro is NOT the when your clock starts ticking for "being in tech." I laughed at blue whale saying "I worked for a bunch of megacorps that make you look like a shit smear by size comparison,  but I can't tell you who they are nor can I even vaguely summarize my work for them." What a fucking poser. I don't know anyone in tech who would work for AppaGoogaFaceSoftZon and wouldn't brag about it. And as for not being able to describe her work, even top secret cleared defense contractors are allowed to describe their work without divulging specifically classified info. Did blue whale code on the fucking UFO at Roswell? No, the sad reality is she has a weak background and she has never done anything technically important or difficult, and all she has done is be a loud mouth bully barging into shit way out of her league. As for wanting to talk shop around the water cooler, saying that reveals she has no idea what she is doing. Real haXXors don't want to gossip like high school. They just want to be left alone to get shit done.  iI you expect tech to be the high school prom, you have fundamentally misunderstood this industry. Tech is by definition solitary. You have to spend thousands of hours by yourself in your own mind solving intellectual puzzles and you have to like it. If you aren't built for that, GTFO, you won't cut it in this industry.  The real giveaway was her saying she doesn't want to code everyday. I would never hire any developer at any skill level who says that. That is a big red flag that she is just a social ladder climber who thinks she can talk her way out of whatever technical problem she is being paid to solve. Every good developer I have known wants to touch the code every day, they do it on nights and weekends too because they love that shit, and that dedication is why they are great because they have spent so much time practicing. Blue whale is a fraud and the consequences of her toxic personality have finally caught up with her: nobody wants to work with her because she'll just attack them too in public via twitter while pretending to be the victim. Cry me a river, fatty. OMG the resume Ran a one person team Literally nothing here translates into the real world of jobs, nothing. She would seriously be better off writing some lie about taking care of a seriously ill parent than presenting this. As an owner/employer all this says to me is "I am toxic, did nothing for two decades of worth, have no excuses, DO NOT HIRE ME as I will fuck with your business." The last bullet is the best: "Every truly impressive thing that I've had to do during this time doesn't fit into a resume format. This is the weirdest resume entry I've ever had to write. I did everything: whatever needed to be done." Fuck…. I had a management prof in grad school (he worked in mgmt at both NASA and IBM back in the day)   lay out some of the best one-liners that I carry to this day.  I loved that man. He once said "If you can't describe what you do during the time it takes to shake someone's hand, you don't have a real job. Prepare to leave."   Another:  "If you have to rephrase what you do on a resume into more flowery language, you should probably leave it off."
