1. Don't tell people your age.

> Since severing ties with my cofounder I've found myself under-inspired, under-challenged, and feeling lazy with no commitments or projects to work on. On top of that I'm lonely, since I don't live near my friends.

2. Don't put out a lot of personal stuff. Just describe what you're good at and let people draw their own conclusions. I say this because people who might hire you will want to see evidence of your personal drive and focus on work and technology, not how lonely you are.

I wish you the best of luck.

+1 on age. Also, don't tell people your ethnicity.

Or gender, while we're on the topic of things to avoid. :)

In fact, don't tell people anything that is not related to the skills you are bringing on the table.
