Your git repos would be good portfolio

also why not just qemu a winblows vm
<midfavila>
unfortunately my git repos display a) a very limited set of skills and b) a very, very, *very* niche set of skills
<midfavila>
i keep trying to explain this to my career counselor but he doesn't seem to understand that being able to troubleshoot obscure errors in 1970s era codebases is a skill that very few people will pay you for, and even then only if you have a ton of experience
<midfavila>
as is I have five months to cram a bunch of shitware out the door and hope to god that my willingness and determination to learn obscure and poorly-documented libraries and then produce somewhat useful software with them is slightly impressive
<Ellowee[m]>
midfavila: COBOL
<midfavila>
Java for boomers
<Ellowee[m]>
midfavila: Github cockpilot seX
<midfavila>
disgusting
<Ellowee[m]>
i ran out of ideas to mock proprietary products
<midfavila>
i'm at a point where i just want to cry ;w;
<midfavila>
i don't want to be a fucking webdev but it seems like that's the only option for self-taught programmers to achieve gainful employment reasonably now

current progress on my little toy editor
<midfavila>
menus are almost functional, including an actually sane file selection widget courtesy of edward falk
<midfavila>
still need to implement a callback and associated data structure before the status line will be useful
<midfavila>
not going to show anything crazy - path and name of the file, current column and row, whether or not the file has been modified recently, etc
<sad_plan>
cool. wait, why is your PATH only /bin? does slack install to /bin?
<midfavila>
this isn't slackware, this is kiss
<sad_plan>
ah. so you prefix everything to /?
<midfavila>
no
<sad_plan>
or empty for that matter which is more or less the same
<sad_plan>
then why is path only /bin?
<midfavila>
/usr/bin is linked to /bin
<sad_plan>
I know
<midfavila>
then there's your answer
* midfavila
shrugs
<sad_plan>
I just know kiss has alot more. but well. its not needed if theres nothing in /sbin i.e.
<sad_plan>
so youre back on kiss again midfavila ?
<midfavila>
for better or worse
<sad_plan>
not so sure about your choice yet? :p
