I see your point. I was thinking more in a softer sense, where that might not work. Around here people are /very/ conservative 17% retirement population, 20%+

- mechanical_fish 14y agoYou could try telling people that you build software for the government. All it takes is one contributed bugfix to the right open-source project and you'll be telling the truth. If they ask for details just tell 'em. E.g.: "Well, [federal website X] is built on an infrastructure that was assembled by a big team of developers from around the world, and I'm one of them."
