Yes. I started a new job (software engineering again) at the start of the pandemic. I feel like I burned a bridge with my manager prior to leaving so ... I won't be able to return to that company in the future.
Haven't really spoken to anyone outside of work (tiny company, too) since March. Left to my own devices at work. Haven't seen anyone in person since April.
Spend most of my days online and alone. Attempted suicide over the summer. Not eating much, rapidly losing weight.
It's my birthday in a few weeks and most days, I don't want to live to see it.
- jackbravo 6y agoHi! I'm happy to chat if you like! I agree that meeting people is hard, it felt easier when then internet was younger. I'm jackbravo on twitter or linkedin. Also, you won't know if the bridge is really burned until you try to use it.
- matthewheath 6y agoShe doesn't reply to any of my emails or Slack messages :-)
- jackbravo 6y agoHahaha, well, indeed. Time to search elsewhere.
- nikkwong 6y agoIf you want someone to talk to I would be happy to chat. Contact info is in profile.
- bibo1927 6y agoHey Bro, If you want someone to talk/help, please let me know.
- matthewheath 6y agoSure, but you don't have any contact information in your profile. My email address is in mine if you want to email me.
- Subsentient 6y agoI'm sorry, man. I know what that's like. I've been down the whole rapid weight loss suicidal thing before myself. I used to wake up and cry, because I had to live for the rest of the day. What kind of programming do you do?
- matthewheath 6y agoWeb/backend programming with Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I quite enjoy writing Ruby code. I also dabble in Elixir as a hobby but not many places are using it. It's a cool language though.
- Subsentient 6y agoEver play with Crystal? It's a very promising new language that's very much a copy of Ruby, down to the syntax.
- matthewheath 6y agoI had a look at it a few years ago, but I've never played around with it. Do you like it?
- Subsentient 6y agoI fucking love Crystal. It's a fantastic language that is just now starting to reach maturity. I'd strongly recommend you play with it, if you're a ruby guy.
