re: #193 Vicious Babushka

I was unemployed for three years—THREE YEARS!!—from 2007-2010.

I was variously employed, with 6-month gaps, on short term contract assignments from 2001-2007, because of all the fucking OUTSOURCING that started during the reign of St. Ronald the Magnificent.

At this point in my career, people are realizing that offshore teams need significant oversight or they’ll churn out crap code that explodes if you so much as look at it the wrong way. I’m now at a level of competency/seniority where I can find work keeping tabs on offshore teams.
