It's not even about the money, I was waiting at the bus stop for 4 hours, constantly trying to communicate with the bus operators. There was absolutely no help or empathy. If it was a local, cheap bus I'd have still understood. But I paid a premium amount for a good bus service.

After 3 years of working as a generalist, I've realized that I just want to code. 🫡 As I restart my career, I'd appreciate all the help I can get. So if you know of any exciting Python backend dev opportunities, please send them my way! Sharing some of my work below:

I know 10 min groceries are a convenience, but it feeds hyper-consumerism. If you actually plan meals and use your groceries wisely, it’s so much more economical. Plus grocery shopping is kinda therapeutic, and veggies are SO MUCH fresher. Shop locally.

Generalists on the other hand are still figuring out their niche and as a result aren't hesitant to get their hands dirty in any domain, making them the weapon of choice for early-stage startups.

@desheltn 1. Either, an actual investigation that answered what caused such a delay, a more empathetic apology from the travel company, and a token for the inconvenience. 2. Easiest, full refund. I had to eventually take a cab which costed me 4x the bus price, so I was clearly hassled.
