Your website suggests that you can code. Any particular reason why you are not seeking employment in that field?
Because my best language is Haskell, and when I compare my Haskell skills to Haskellers I know who got jobs doing Haskell, I come off very badly.
Haskell programmers have a reputation for being very smart. Feels like you could learn Python or Scala, be at least a medium sized fish in that pond, and get paid twice as much as writing would get you.
You aren't saying anything I haven't told myself many times. But if I had fixed my akrasia and learned Python, do you think I'd still be busy here? Writing is at least something I don't have much problem doing.
Gotcha.
