Take the passive-aggressive nerd approach:

  1. Start a niche online movement that only cares about one aspect of computing and convinces people all their problems are caused by your pet peeve

  2. let the company dig its grave

  3. create a FOSS alternative

  4. sell a premium version for businesses (it includes phone support and management-friendly marketing matetials)

  5. congrats, you are now the de facto standard software in your field

Well of course I know him, he is me... I haven't found a job yet but this post pretty much sums a lot my personal projects.

Personal projects = it'll work until it doesn't

Professional projects = I'm hiding in the MDF hoping no one finds me

"Every dependency is an asset. Every dependency is a liability."

Sums up every Node project I've had the displeasure of looking at. The lock file being the only thing holding the twisted web of versions keeping that franken-app running between a minefield of incompatibilities and buggy hacks.
