I came across this reference in a book this morning and the April 22 date caught my eye. This article by wired.com was published in 2010. 2010 (already 14 years ago) feels like a big turning point in web technologies as well.In 31 years, look where we are. I was 10 in 93' and discovered a new world through Mosaic, and then Netscape. I was lucky enough to have a family computer, a modem, dial up, and had spent hours and hours on BBS's prior. The rest is history. The web made me. The web made us. Tim Berners Lee, thank you.
I was laid off about a month ago. Last week I purchased the domain covid-story.com (theres nothing deployed yet).
I want a a basic crud application that allows users to log events in their life by date, journal, or more blog in longer form the day to day experiences they've had during the pandemic.
This may be so for 'some' US based websites or companies, but those of us with users worldwide tend to find it very essential to not violate the right and privacy of our users, in accordance with their countries' laws.
Im sure you would do great in a full stack web application engineer role, or lead, or other lead engineer role. I have to ask though, have you ever worked on a team of developers, especially with one or many other teams with engineers who have the same amount or more experience? If not, then that is an area that may render some opportunities to be more out of reach, unfortunately.
You're going to get inquiries about agile, test driven development, release cycles, code reviews, build pipelines, and overall dev team processes that you're familiar with.
Like other comments here, focus your value as a senior dev, maybe even on certain stack or framework.
2% of a bond is laughable. A lot of bonds for misdemeanors are 500 or 1000 usd. So someone could bail out for 5 or 10 bucks! A more serious crime with a 10,000 bond, at 2%, one could get out for 200. I have never ever heard of anyone getting a text from a bail bondsman. If you dont show, you break your bond agreement, and get arrested on a warrant for failure to appear!

I use a 2008 MBP 17" because I have legacy versions of music production software that costs a lot, that I can no longer upgrade. It runs great, but it has an occasional memory buffer overload when trying to record and playback too many tracks at once.
Not to be snarky, but the person to ask first about it's construction is Adolph Hitler, unfortunately.
"Hitler's autobahn construction began in September 1933 under the direction of chief engineer Fritz Todt. The 14-mile expressway between Frankfurt and Darmstadt, which opened on May 19, 1935, was the first section completed under Hitler. By December 1941, when wartime needs brought construction to a halt, Germany had completed 2,400 miles (3,860 km), with another 1,550 miles (2,500 km) under construction."
Because you don't regularly see published hype from the ones NOT in the camp of get rich, retire. You're own perception based on 'software engineers' and 'always' is wrong, and is based on the last 10 years tech startup culture mirage. Everyone wants to be a rockstar, then producer, then record label owner, but not everyone wants to play in the band everyday just cause they love it.
Webstorm by itself is $129.00 yr for commercial use. Im replying to myself to make this more specific edit to my above comment in response to dude below that found it worthwhile to find me on twitter to tell me I'm wrong there as well in a Tweet because $129.00 != hundreds, geez! Dang, ban this user again!
> In TS, you'd have to type every function signature to get the same level of confidence.
I don't disagree, but isn't this the point? That by typing every function you can reliably have confidence in parameter types and return value types, and if your program is able to throw a type error on build, then it should and alert the developer that they're not logically correct in their implementation.
It's maybe worth noting here that compiling to C and transpiling to JS are two entirely different paradigms of linking and building a software release.
Off topic, but wanted to reply regarding "The first page of my resume is my 10 years of non-career programming experience."
This must be part or most of the problem. Cut your resume down to 1 page, if possible. Include a meaningful cover letter catered to the opportunity and specific company youre applying to. Shove the last ten years stuff into the very end, and start that first page with your software knowledge and related projects. Ping me someday here if this ends up getting your foot in the door.
Wow, do you have a link to the blog post? Bjarne, if you read his C++ books, is a great technical communicator and author, and his contribution to computer science speaks for itself.
