Last quarter, I led a team of engineers on an initiative to grow my company’s artificial intelligence data centers, which use millions of gallons of water per day. My work with AI is exponentially accelerating the destruction of the planet, but once a month, I go camping to reconnect with my own humanity through nature. I also bike to and from the office, which definitely offsets all the other environmental destruction I work tirelessly to enact from sunup to sundown for an exorbitant salary. Check out this social media post of me biking up a mountain. See? This is who I really am.

on that note: i refuse to work for evil companies, but i can't afford to pay rent. PLEASE help me find work i do webdev, software dev, sys admin, devops and have been since 2009. i dont give a shit about a competitive salary, i just need a job if you can hire me, you'll probably save my life. even if it's just a one off contract it'd be a huge boon im currently on welfare which pays $600 less than my rent. i of course have to eat, and have other bills to pay. anything helps
