More than 100 job applications sent out and no damn job afterwards.

A subtoot: corporations, and corporate(-like) behavior, are political. Anyone claiming that corporate-like work is apolitical--work that includes business-friendly software development whether it occurs within the walls of a corporate entity or not--is either naive or deliberately obfuscating reality.<br><br>"Politics" isn't only about institutions. It's about organizing large numbers of people to do something they wouldn't otherwise do. Corporations organize large numbers of people to do things they probably wouldn't do if they weren't paid and/or didn't need the money to live. 10,000 people wouldn't spontaneously get together and spend the best hours of their days for months building a commercial jet airliner if there weren't corporate structures in place and a society that keeps them close enough to deprivation that they will do this in exchange for money.<br><br><a href="/tags/foss/" rel="tag">#FOSS</a> <a href="/tags/oss/" rel="tag">#OSS</a> <a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#OpenSource</a> <a href="/tags/software/" rel="tag">#software</a> <a href="/tags/opensourcesoftware/" rel="tag">#OpenSourceSoftware</a> <a href="/tags/tech/" rel="tag">#tech</a> <a href="/tags/dev/" rel="tag">#dev</a> <a href="/tags/softwaredevelopment/" rel="tag">#SoftwareDevelopment</a> <a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#politics</a> <a href="/tags/economics/" rel="tag">#economics</a> <a href="/tags/corporations/" rel="tag">#corporations</a><br>
