You’re getting some really bad responses to your comments, I definitely hear what you’re saying. I’m aspiring to be in tech to get out of homelessness but I wonder if I can even pull it off as a woman.

I began doing remote work while homeless. That was enormously helpful in getting past some of those hurdles, to some degree.

I run r/GigWorks and a zillion other little subreddits and I run a bunch of homeless websites. If you are not familiar, Street Life Solutions has a list of some of the most pertinent ones in the sidebar:

I"m actually getting a surprising amount of support in this discussion. Things used to be a lot rougher for me on HN. At least some of the worst and ugliest stuff tends to get fairly promptly flagged to death these days.
