This helps explain why I can't get a contract these days after a long SUCCESSFUL career so far. While East Indians are CHOKING all the places I go for interviews (the FEW that I get).

Have you tried identifying as female, and Indian when you go for your interviews?

I wonder if I tried something like that how things would change in my job search (until caught) but I was afraid that the experiment would be me even further into some covert black ball hole (I cheated). So I don't. I'm not a good cheater. I'm not tricky. I'm autistic.

Yeah, just wear a wig and call yourself a tranny. You're a guaranteed hire in almost every tech company.

That's a thing. I don't know what area (other) of comp sci I'd like to get into now. security probably isn't my thing since I'm not a tricky sort, I'm more of an efficiency (better, faster, cheaper) expert. I like tuning and optomizing and am VERY successful (better than most) at it. It's like being better at building dragsters than combat vehicles I'd say. Thought about gaming, but then thought about the sorts of young spuds I'd HAVE to deal with. Wouldn't get along probably. TRIED thinking of an application area I could BREAK into as an owner (company). Nothing that isn't a scam springs to mind. I had GOOD ideas along those lines in the past, but NO reputation or capital. Oh well. Maybe I'm just done. God wants me for the final battle or something. Thanks for the ideas.
