Why I Left Stack Overflow (jlericson.com)

I mean, do your best, sure. But I've literally been offered jobs because friends and relatives have connections that aren't available to other people. I was thinking this morning that I've written a lot of resumes, but mostly to give to employers as a formality. I've never been unemployed between jobs partially because I started life with a number of advantages not given to others. This isn't a political thing; it's just the facts about my life.
