Rejection Sensitivity Disorder. I sure wish every job rejection didn't make me feel like dying because clearly I'm not worth anything. But here we are.

Have some interviews today, I sure do hate interviewing. Extremely tired of filtering through AI bullshit jobs to find the few that seem reasonable only to be rejected, so hopefully I don’t fuck this up 🫠🫠🫠

I dunno if "... well, we have 35 minutes left if you have any questions?" is a good thing or a bad thing when doing some sort of "can you write code?"/"can you design a basic system?" test. The prompt was pretty simple for both parts, and I passed all of the secret tests with basic defensive code 😓

To be clear for those of you not in the industry: a *lot* of indie devs, like the kind you've actually heard of, rely on outside investment to survive. Being in a position where you're not dependent on that is the very definition of a luxury position

Fun. 2 cop cars showed up, wellness check next door? 3rd cop car showed up. Firetruck showed up. Firebulance showed up. Firepeople left. Cops started leaving. Last cop knocked on door to let us know neighbour is going to be in the hospital for a few days and could we look after his stuff/feed cats 🤷‍♂️

Interviews shortly, s t r e s s e d. Applied to many hundreds of jobs - 4 screening calls, 1 disastrous* set of interviews so far 🫠 * "I would do X but I'd have to look up the docs to refresh my memory" was the wrong answer, they wanted "I'd use AI!" and it was all downhill from there

Freddie @freddie.wtf · 04/09/2026

Yesterday's interviews were an absolute fucking disaster, whee. Apparently "I know exactly what I need for this but would need to check the docs to refresh my memory on the details" is not the correct answer and it is in fact "just use AI" 😮‍💨 I've always loved writing code but this shit is bleak

Freddie @freddie.wtf · 03/09/2026

Interviews today 😭 What if I forgot how to write code since yesterday? Maybe it’s just anxiety and the horrors of having to be perceived for the next few hours. Also likely to just make an UGH face if they ask me to use AI.

Freddie @freddie.wtf · 25/08/2026

- Thousands of job listings looked at (filtering out "you're an AI slopmaster" roles is a job all by itself) - Hundreds of jobs applied for - THREE* screening calls - One moving to interviews at, of course, a huge pay cut * technically four but one was a referral and they noped out

Why do you think those "auteurs" can never pull off another success? (You know who I'm talking about.) Maybe it's because their TEAM was actually the reason the game was awesome? Oh but they fired the whole team and hired a cheaper one?

Ah health insurance. New owners don't offer Anthem, only worse plans via Cigna. Fine, set that up. First interaction with them? We're declining authorization for this med you've been on for years and will send you a letter about it. ... cost without insurance: $490/mo 😓

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.

BI REMINDER
💜Bisexual women are still bi even if they're dating men
🩷Bisexual men exist, and they're not "just gay"
💙Ace/Aro bisexuals, & Nonbinary
bisexuals exist
💜Sexual orientation is about attraction, not action
🩷Bisexuals dont need to have dated all the genders/gender identities they re attracted to - to know they're attracted to them

I've said this before and it is still true: Out of all the horrible things a middle-aged cis straight white writer of SF/F might be known for these days, "criminal burritos" is almost certainly the best-case scenario
