What does that actually mean? The fact you're using language like, "cog in the machine" is already telling me a lot about why companies don't want to hire you.

What does that actually mean? The fact you're using language like, "cog in the machine" is already telling me a lot about why companies don't want to hire you. If you told us exactly where the process breaks down for you and why with illustrative examples, we might be able to help you identify where it's going wrong for you. But tip 1, companies hire people who are positive about how they can contribute and work within an org.
EDIT: Took a quick look at your blog to see if there were any obvious red flags and found this, in the context of the Rust Foundation's prohibition of firearms at Rust events
> I have a concealed carry permit. I have firearms and other weapons. I know how to use them, and I will use them in defense of my wife and myself.
> And you can bet I carry them into places I consider dangerous if it is legal to.
If I was hiring, this would be a huge red flag to me. Why do you need to even consider bringing a firearm into a conference?
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoLiterally came here for the same thing. Went to their blog and saw that a programming language is "dead to [them]" because the organization behind the language doesn't like guns. WUT > "Why can't I get a job?" > - man with 30ft pole behind them with a red flag hoisted on it
- gavinhoward 3y agoI never asked why I can't get a job. I merely said that I can't. I know I'm not a good fit in sterile workplaces.
- gavinhoward 3y agoThere might be people outside of the conference targeting attendees.
- emptysongglass 3y agoLet me be completely clear with you: you are the danger to others when you bring a concealed firearm to a conference. There might be people outside of the conference targeting attendees? That is the talk of someone who walks around life haunted by fear.
- gavinhoward 3y agoNo, it's the talk of someone who lived in a dangerous neighborhood.
