  • I have a 15+ year resume in my field and I struggled to find a job this year. It’s not because of you that finding a job is hard. It’s that job sites are like dating sites: the majority of posts are fake. You should decide on what kind of job you want and approach recruiters in that field - even with, maybe especially with, your requirements, they’ll be able to help you better than clicking auto-apply on LinkedIn.















  • “what are the means of production?”

    The ways in which you produce goods and services for transactions in a market.

    Using a laptop (/server) to produce IT services is no different to a cobbler using a machine to produce a shoe, or a bard using a lute to produce a song.

    The more you dig into it though, the more hardware and infrastructure you’ll find: router, servers, storage, switches, cables, management systems (both technical and HR). Even if you work alone you still use the internet which is made up of physical computers owned by someone, and telephony infrastructure, and you’ll still use a service to find work, and you’ll still take payments using a bank…

    It’s equally applicable now to an IT worker as it was to a draughtsman at an architect firm in 1840.
