- Allen Huber My initial involvement with .NET was in 2008. I started with WinForms, then UWP, and most recently Blazor, with some Web API work as well. I also did/do some Xamarin.Forms and .NET MAUI on the side. I've worked with SQL Server, Oracle, and SQLite. The last year has broken me. Without work and income for at least a year I've been forced to start tapping retirement funds at least a decade before I had planned. (In fact, I had always hoped to take my last breath at the keyboard trying something new.) The constant fruitless efforts in the job search, including massive numbers of ghosting events; postings I've applied for, never had a response, but continue to be posted; the horribly vague pieces of textual trash called job descriptions; and so on, have made me give up. I just can't do it any more. Without the generosity of friends, right now I'd either be dead, in jail, or living under a bridge. This was not the way I saw my future. I dedicated my career to .NET and I ended up broke and homeless, in massive amounts of debt that can't ever be repaid. So I'm backing away from full-time search. That said, I'm still looking to keep involved with the .NET technologies but in a part-time manner, as well as build upon the meager retirement income. I'm looking for a Blazor or MAUI project to work on, perhaps a lower-priority solo developer effort, demo, or POC requiring around 20 hours a week. If there's some other .NET technology, give me a little time and I'll get up to speed. No charge until I start doing your work! It probably could go unsaid, but I'm not interested in being contacted by recruiters. You're the ones that did this to me with your gross incompetence and terrible work practices. Yes, I'm bitter, and I hope every one of you that ever ghosted me suffers like I am.
