Life is funny sometimes
Hey everyone. I had intended to be a much more active part of this group, but life has always had a way of getting in the way. I lost my job a year ago and decided to take some time and dive into something I'd always been interested in but could never truly do — coding. I'd hoped that what I picked up and accomplished would help pad my resume, but it seems the knowledge I gained is still something the world isn't quite ready to hire for.
Over the last 18 months I've been using AI to cover for the shortcomings I've always had. Syntax and formatting have always been a struggle (yay ADHD, am I right?), so I figured using AI as my code writer while I stayed the architect would be a good match. I was right. In that time I've built a creator ecosystem focused on helping live streamers manage their broadcasts and communities. I've got a handful of beta testers on it now and it's been genuinely fun watching it get more stable. I'm trying to turn this into a real business, and part of that is working with close friends to use our D&D stream as a live showcase of what the ecosystem can do.
This brings me to two asks:
- Remote job opportunities. Reality's set in — I'm still developing this ecosystem/business/stream, but the financial padding I had a year ago is running out. I'm not asking for a handout, I don't believe in them. I'm asking if anyone has a remote opportunity, or knows someone I could actually talk to instead of another automated rejection email. I have close to a decade of experience working from home in enterprise SaaS support. Anything in this field or related would be greatly appreciated, but I'm open to just about anything. If I don't know it, I can learn it fast.
- Would anyone be willing to check out our D&D stream? It's where I'm putting the ecosystem through its paces in real time, and more eyes would genuinely help as we grow it.
I know that's a lot to ask, given you don't know me. I appreciate you reading this far either way.
