Work for any enterprise software company. And you will know coding is the easiest part of shipping software. Organizing, working with other teams, understanding the domain, coordinating. All higher level and higher order tasks than coding.

Why is the independence of the Federal Reserve sacrosanct? For one, they should have oversight and they should have accountability.

Not ever passing an audit of any kind. And the FED chairman spending $2.5B on renovations to an office complex. While misleading congress about the kinds of renovations.

There should be less 'independence', if it means zero accountability.

It is a very tough job market. I have been looking for 11 months myself with zero interviews. And 500+ applications to jobs I am qualified for.

The summary of your resume is very dense. Opening it felt like a wall of text, I wanted to immediately close.

Have chatgpt rewrite it.

Because of ATS resume systems, your resume may be getting screened out. After chatgpt has rewritten it.

Throw it into an ATS resume checker like https://www.jobscan.co to see how it is performing for ATS filters.

I particularly like https://simplify.jobs that can tailor your resume and autofill for applications. Will save a lot of time if you do not have this already.

Best of luck. It is extremely tough and unusual. Apply for jobs in your immediate city or a place you could relocate to, as a priority... as the remote ones are extremely competitive.

Avoid thinking of the pain of the task at hand. Imagine and focus on the reward of these tasks.

Lifting weights... imagine the stronger person you will become. Studying for that exam.. picture the career you aspire to. Avoiding that donut... imagine the healthier you.

Habit stacking helps to remind one of the task to do. To avoid the struggle of doing them, picture the desired outcome.

It is absolutely a brutal job market for all software developers. Never seen anything like the current market. Seems like there is an oversupply of H1B's and recent graduates.

If Stanford Computer Science graduates aren't landing jobs.

And even 'AI Engineer' roles are hard to come by. I'd be wary.

A Different take. Greenland is strategic to the security of North America. And had been severely neglected by Denmark. Just like all Nato countries, not contributing financially to security as required.

This saber rattling had the desired effect and result. More military investment in Greenland. But, using other ppl's money... Denmark.

And in Canada's case with becoming a 51'st state... they too are now committed to meeting NATO $ obligations.

Read the book - what color is your parachute.

It will help you figure out the type of career that will work for you.

In particular, knowing the ‘language’ that you speak… will help you find the right career path.

A language being… do you enjoy working with numbers, with people, outdoors… etc…

If you have a second passport. You will be able to leave anytime you want.

If things did get locked down. Don’t count on being allowed to leave. Or of other countries accepting US citizens.
