THE GEN X CAREER MELTDOWN
So what opportunities fare there or a 50-year-old design systems designer with almost 30 years of experience, who was laid off and has spent the last 10 months sitting around and scratching his arse and playing video games?
My COBRA health insurance runs out in two months, and at this rate, I'll be out of savings by December. I should've started panicking earlier.
- all the good jobs are being outsourced to India, so I would move thereWallaWalla
- So sorry man.monospaced
- Network, and start freelancing, talk to friends... don't give up yet, hugs!OBBTKN
- become a whore - choose your hours, meet new and interesting people, the constant thrill of danger, and sex.face_melter
- start small with cottaging then work your way up to hotels. never go back to a client's home - danger will robinson!!face_melter
- I feel for you. No need to panick yet.palimpsest
- Fuck, Joe. You're one of the good ones too.
Best of luck to you, man. xNairn - you're fine just had a nice 10 months vacation, its time to do some sht.sted
- Pick up the horn once in a while ya cunt!garbage
- I was in the same spot about a year ago.
I did the usual, updating the resume, updating linkedin stuff, applying to stuff via linkedin... no luck.exador1 - what DID work however, was the old network. a project manager I had a good relationship with needed a UI/UX guy on his team at new place...and voila...exador1
- then, an old workmate from ages ago contacted me about working on his app that's having some success...needed a UI/UX guy to take it to the next level...exador1
- so...what I learned was...it's the connections you have... the folks that ALREADY know you and like you...exador1
- what exador said.monospaced
- Have you tried freelancing using the creative headhunter agencies?Frosty_spl
- Also use Linkedin like it's your job.Frosty_spl
- Dang; chin up and just get back at it. Nearly a year of ass scratching / gaming sounds fantastic, though! A bit of a "reset"?!
You're NOT dead yet brother.ideaist - I would start learning ai workflow automations, like n8n, make or gum loop, then go after your usual work but with the skills to help clients leverage automatioslappy
- Cheers guys. Honestly the last 10 months has been to get my headspace in check because I was completely burnt out. Still am. But it’s starting to get real now.5timuli
- “Use LinkedIn like it is your job”... funny, because it was my job5timuli

Better check yourself foo!palimpsest - The More You Know:
The reason why Chihuahas have the small dog syndrome is because the old ladies that care for them don't take them seriously, nobody does.palimpsest - It doesn't mean those fuckers don't need to get checked because you would never allow the same type of behavior from a proper dog.palimpsest

Artificial Intelligence
Something really strange just happened.
I'm in LAX right now. Just flew in from Hawaii, my flight from Hawaii was United.
I opened my laptop and connected to the free wifi at LAX.
I'm working with Gemini 2.5 to design an app on Flutter.
All our conversations are related to this project. No other conversation regarding flights exist.Gemini asked for a screenshot of my Flutter screen to guide me through a process and I uploaded. Then it gave me this answer.
The source at the bottom shows a PDF doc that I have about this app.
So the source of this output is not that, then what is it?Either through my phone(android) or my Macbook it knows more than it's supposed to and somehow gave this answer.
I'm getting a bit creeped out here.
- I'm waiting for my flight to Istanbul btw. Via Turkish Airline.Beeswax
- the answer : "It appears my system incorrectly analyzed the image and mistakenly generated details about a flight."Beeswax
- probably gets a bunch of user information injected into the system prompt to ensure contextual/localized results. Biased toward flight info due to airport wifi.monNom
- Which has to make you wonder... if airport wifi is a stronger signal than the uploaded image, what other strong signals are skewing results?monNom
- 1. Screenshot needs to be just the screen UI
2. Somebody else in the flight using the wi-fi asked/scheduled that ticket Gemini got confusedgrafician - The other person probably got your answer with the code :)))grafician
- ChatGPT also had user space leaks, it's not unusual for these models to confuse usersgrafician
- if you are on the same IPgrafician
- Surely that can’t be true? ChatGPT switching responses across user sessions? Fucking amateur hour over there. Did they vibe code their server infrastructure?monNom
- https://nypost.com/2…grafician
- When I want hard facts and serious journalism, I definitely turn to the same outlet that breaks stories like 'Kim Kardashian’s Left Eyelash Falls Off 'canoe

Joe Rogan of the Day
Liver King arrested after wanting to fight Joe Rogan coming to Austin in some bizarre roid-induced methdown.
-- do I need to know who the F is "Liver King"?Krassy
- Is this the coffee enema vid?Akagiyama
- This is so dumb. I keep hearing about it online. If there were really cops there, why don't they show the cops? Do you ever even hear cops talking?mg33

- He used to say he never used steroids, just ate raw meat, but then got found out for having a massive steroid habit. Lost his empire.PhanLo
- He was too mad for even Rogan to let on his show.PhanLo

- Joe Rogan may have to move back to California... seems safer out here.jonny_quest_lives
- He's built a comedy club where people laugh at his bad jokes, there's no moving back.
Also reckon he'd have battered the Liver King guy.PhanLo - I dunno seems like if Rogan lived in Los Angeles the Liver King prolly wouldn't have bothered to fly from Houston to threaten him...jonny_quest_lives
