Today I had a job interview that was so bad it made me think I might never get another job as a developer. I've been working for 8 years now and most of what I've learned during vocational training 12 years ago I'd consider obsolete but man they were grilling me about everything OTHER than my previous job. What kind of projects did I do to learn programming, what sort of customer base did the employer of my vocational training have etc.
And I have real trouble with memory. If I were to stitch together all my memories ages 0 thru 20 you might get like 24-48 hours worth of stuff.
Ultimately we aborted the interview because half an hour in they finally tell me they're actually not offering 100% remote positions so thanks for wasting my time dipshits.

But holy hell, never before has a single interview made me rethink my entire life this much. If I can't get a job as a developer I guess I'm doomed to remain out-of-work until the end of my days. It's a scary feeling.

My one remaining option is to come up with a good game idea and make a living as a solo gamedev but that's not going well either
