Homeless Developer in Los Angeles Needs Work, Can You Please Help?
Dear HN, Apologies in advance for posting something non-technical and personal, but I have no other place online to ask. I am having an emergency. I have been homeless in Los Angeles for the past 2 years. Prior to this, I was a developer for over 10 years. Mostly I worked at small startups. And let me just get the stereotypes out of the way: I don't do drugs, I don't drink, I'm not a criminal, and I'm not mentally ill. I'm just a spectacularly unlucky coder who worked for a series of not so great startups that failed, slowly ran out of money and savings between jobs, and fell through the cracks to become totally stranded living on the streets. I have no family to ask for help--only-child, parents deceased. The only reason I have survived this long was by working part-time on 2 remote contracting gigs, but I was paid sub-minimum wage. It's extremely difficult
