I made it through the gauntlet and have gotten a job offer that I will be accepting. Will reveal more once everything is signed. I got to interview for this position based on a recommendation from a PHP community member and friend.
For my fellow developers who are unemployed — it is brutal out there. This was the only interview I received during my job search although my ego says some will likely materialize now that I have received an offer. I hope your struggles end in success.
I have spent 20 years networking and trying to help folks in the PHP community. I don’t ever expect anything in return but I am grateful for the help I have gotten (and hopefully given out) over the years.

@grmpyprogrammer@yac.grumpy-learning.com the job market is brutal (went through this in 2025 and also 2024). It seems unfathomable to me that a legend like you got a handful of rejections, and got ghosted… what the heck Congratulations on the offer, Inwish you well for the rest 🤘
