I am old, the biggest difference from when I was 20 to now is when I was 20 I knew I wasn't going to be the star of my own TV sitcom.

There is this constant barrage of bullshit now. "This 25year old makes $30k a month from a side hustle doing nothing and you can too!".

Life is basically the best it is has ever been but the expectations that came with this are just absurd.

If you think this tech job market is bad you can't imagine the dot com bust and 2002. Imagine graduating college in 2000 and starting the job hunt.
