Anyone sold source code? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.works to c/programming@programming.dev

I'm curious if anyone has any experience selling source code. Not so much freelancing, but just selling code you've already written.

I'm living in medium to high cost of living area in the USA. I'm sick of the full-time employment - layoff - job hunt - full-time employment cycle. I don't see the employer / employee relationship getting any better.

Looking for other ideas.

The CEOs are all professional fall guys/girls at this point. Get the names of the shareholders /board members calling the shots and put them on blast, then avoid anything they touch.

Unity's Chairman of the Board is Roelof Botha, basically a mini musk.

He also sits on the boards of MongoDB, Evernote, Bird, Ethos, Natera, Square, and Xoom - in case you want to know what he might shit up next.

Small businesses using Square are probably the likely target

steps down with a golden parachute, all the richer.

We need real consequences for greed that is ruining everyone's lives.

how is it any different from now, when they come after us and NOT the rich? Like we never stopped getting policed that was rich privilege only, and only because of the complicated tax structures that open up to you once you start a business that has some cash throughput

total fear-mongering like you say

If insurers are refusing to cover disasters, then mortgage lenders should be unable to force buyers to buy (useless) insurance

Yeah don't have a BBQ. He will have a bond agreement in place before surrendering so likely he will bond out immediately.

If you read a headline that he got convicted in court and sentenced to prison time, then schedule the BBQ

Curious if anyone here is still finding a need for X network in their day to day lives?

I was never big on Twitter so had no trouble leaving when Elon bought.

Let's play a game, look up the states articles of secession and see how many words you can make before you see a word starting with 'slave'

By my count, Texas maybe goes the longest before mentioning it, but they all do.

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery--

Fucking yikes Mississippi.

I'm looking for some recommendations for things to listen to or casually watch to stay 'in the loop' on the standout games of the year, hear discussion of good games in general, feed my video game fan soul but not just about the newest latest thing.

I figured this group might know of good spots to look.

What are your favorites?
