Me too. Honestly, even if it never deflates I think long term I’m out.
Is there anything we can do with these skills other than enrich billionaire tech bro assholes? I tried very briefly tonight to look for nonprofits that are looking for software people and saw nothing but search engine mismatches.
All I got is to start a small business consulting, fixing and installing for small business. Did that on the side 12-years ago and it was amazing how fast business owners jumped when offered services for a reasonable price.
We could go on-call for a monthly fee. $200/mo. per customer stacks quickly. But you have to get a feel for your customers, set expectations and fire the skinflints. If you don’t have people skills, this is a non-starter. I got people skills, no business skills.
Been there, done that, know myself, not motivated enough. Give me a time and place to be, give me work, give me a paycheck and benefits, I’ll knock it out the park. But if I gotta get out of bed and knock doors, again, I got the people skills, but I can’t self motivate.
Yes, the market right now is bent toward large existing players. There is room for competition for Lyft and Uber for example. If you can find workarounds for regulatory obstacles.
