>>8032000Thanks anon. Hearing that there's demand is encouraging.
A problem I've felt as I've been looking for jobs to apply to (trying to apply to 2 every day, not a lot but it's better than the 0 a day I've been doing for the past few months) is that I have zero experience with any of the frameworks people use. No AWS, Azure, docker, etc. Long story as to why, just trust me when I say that I know Python as a language and one weird gamedev framework that is completely useless outside one very specific, tiny, dead-end industry. I can write code almost as easily as I can write English, but I don't know if I can get a job. The obvious solution of course is "so learn the skills people want you to have", and I am considering that, but most of my free time right now is going into a personal project. My ultimate goal is to develop this project, or maybe others like it, until I can make a living building the things I want to build. This is a high priority for me. I already don't have enough time or energy for this project; I definitely don't have enough to learn extra programming skills on top of it. Or maybe I do; I guess it's hard to say without trying.
Also, what exactly do you mean by,
>jump through whatever hoops they require>dress well>be painfully professionalIn particular in the context of remote work, which I definitely want to continue doing.
>daily routineI've actually been doing a "December of Discipline" with a friend of mine which involves things like going to bed on time and actually working 8 hours a day (minus breaks to stand up, eat lunch, etc). It has notably improved my mental state, even just one week in. It's also been exhausting, but I think I'm figuring that part out.
