  • My pivot from IT was to go into a front line support role that I hated but used to show my other non technical skills (“soft” skills) and moved into a knowledge org in the company. From there it’s building out your portfolio with accomplishments and objectives you did/helped on. I have since moved further away from tech and into a more public role and it is the soft skills which have allowed me to keep my job. Everyone knows the tech in IT - it’s why we’re originally hired. Being able to talk to people, to help them learn and/or grow, and have them like the conversation is what keeps me valuable.

    It’s not the path for everyone but hopefully this gives you some ideas on where to apply your non-tech skills and your ability to be a person instead of a filled fix-it role.




  • The Daily Wire is the streaming service for steaming right wing piles of “content” from Ben Shapiro and that Boring guy. It is a service built around desperation to watch something MAGA says isn’t DEI garbage. But it’s unique garbage in its own terrible way.

    The daily wire has such a consistent reputation as last with the common idea and a very weak grasp of presentation that even though Johnny Majors is getting work, it will not last and does nothing for his career.

    Both will fade into obscurity.




  • Hearing the coherent and understood ideas that she is claiming about Trump is like hearing the stoner in calculus give a right answer that has complexity and nuance - they never seemed to pay attention so to hear them cogently reply with a perfect summary is surreal.

    She’s right because she is trying to take control of the right and become the MAGA 2.0 leader. None of the GOP think MAGA does with Trump and they are fighting for what remains after he’s gone.
