  Well, it’s nice that you have landed a higher-paying position afterwards. Which I hope is better in other ways, too.

  I certainly don’t feel better about this kind of crap just because it’s not a once-in-a-lifetime event.

  Somewhat typical for type of work that has a clear end in sight. And they typically never tell about the project-based plans in mind. Sorry you had to go through this.

  Had something like that when I automated stuff for a small company.

  Genuinely, is there a good outlet that’s easily available in text that is not like that? Preferably with proper full-body RSS.

  Difficult to read about my beloved hobby in this hyper-monetized culture.
