Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I’ll never know, because I didn’t become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.
Famous last words of a software engineer who ends up working in a warehouse.
You could probably make $800 doing game dev too. Maybe not with only one game, but $800 with game dev hobby sounds better to me than $800 to be a warehouse associate for an unknown amount of time…
So you think you’re too good to eat shit? Wait until you have to like I do.
Bro, maybe I don’t think you should have to eat shit either.
Wow, they’ll pay you $800/time?
I don’t know if these things are sent en masse by a bot or by a person, but it’s like they don’t even skim your profile before hitting send. Like I specifically said “Work from home only”, what makes you think I want your “hybrid” opportunity in bumfuck Illinois that barely pays what it should for my experience?
My favorite version of this was an ad for applebees that said “you belong here!”. Like, I know that they meant it to be welcoming, but it came across as vaguely threatening …
I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn’t it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

One of my favourite quotes from the show.
Glad I’m not the only one that remembers it.
It’s easily one of my favorite TV shows of all time.
Though the line that’s been rolling through my head since Gaza started is Delenn getting pissed at Lando and G’kar, shouting “When does it end?!” That rant is…. Piercing.
Man with how much of my life was front loaded with suffering I wish I could just use it as a “get out of current issue free” card.
I find it very unfair actually how few people actually have to face consequences for their actions in meaningful ways. I don’t want them repeating them.
Matches programming and game dev experience lmao we’re livin’ almost the same life on that aspect dude lol
