Yeah I've been in LA for 12 years which is much more practical for the most part.

And it's been fine, profitable, revenue generating, sure. Mysql, php, a bit of python, easy stuff.

Honestly I've been wanting to move and try out silicon valley again though and it's been hard because I don't speak that language and frankly I'm skeptical and hostile to it - bad idea. That bad attitude needs to go.

I've been in practical startup land too long so I keep getting stonewalled from getting in to the sv world.

I'm trying to contribute to some companies open source projects recently and then basically earn my way in through labor since I can't do the virtue signaling. It's only been a few weeks, nothing yet.

I gotta learn how to be along for the ride without always trying to reach for the steering wheel.

Hopefully by the end of summer I'll find a lead somewhere.

It's not about the money, it's kinda actually how I want to spend my time for the next year or two.
