> you wouldn't expect someone who's an assistant manager at McDonald's to finish their law degree and start a new job as senior partner at the law firm
I think the metaphor's a little off (I have programming experience, and what'd be more apt is a McDonald's corporate ops manager moving into in-house legal after getting law degree + passing the bar), but I get what you meant!
If you were in a similar position, how would you build a portfolio that shows you have programming skills, and aren't just good at prompting?
Hey, thanks for the context in this thread; I've been working on a project in I7 because I love the form factor of parser &choice-based IF. I'm looking to release the project like a webcomic, with monthly/quarterly chapters, but the backwards compatibility issue in I7 has been a blocker.
In your indie VN dev group, are there any devs working on cross-platform, parser & choice-based VNs (ie I can read a work on mobile as choice-based, but if I want to continue that same save on my computer/ enter commands, I can do that)?
10 years ago, Google promised certain college alumni high storage limits forever. In the past 4 months, Google decreased the storage limits two times, and told users to reduce their GDrive use or have their emails deleted

Would be tough to ask donors to give an extra 100mm back, or ask politicians to sell assets during a recession-recovery, during election season for a president (who may have also been a recipient?).
Biggest losers here are the creditors of FTX, BlockFi, and other US persons who need the estate to get back as much money as they can.
Seems like donations are still a lite-immunity pass (he’s still going to jail, but not longer). Also might protect the parents from criminal liability (not civil), which gives credence to a number of ‘political immunity’ conspiracies
