Specialise in business and process automation with BI work thrown in. Have a bunch of webdev experience. Extremely willing to work in/learn other languages.
When I was younger I wanted to move in to management type roles. However I have never had (or made?) the opportunity so I feel like these are outside of my short to medium term goals. Moving to a company that offers advancement would be an ideal, but in the meantime I feel like I need to make myself a compelling candidate.
I totally understand around difference between pm/dev work though - in a perfect world I want dev work, however I am willing to accept it's not a possibility for me at my age whilst maintaining my current income.
I don't have a technical network for job opportunities (due to non technical teams) and job ads/recruiters seem to filter on technical proficiency.
Another commenter said I should double down on basics and meet end user needs - that's precisely what I do. I get things done, but can I demonstrate technical knowledge or professional experience with language x? Can I define what a singleton is? I'm not so sure.
I want to reiterate the earlier commenter's words: focus. You seem to be spread thin amongst various roles in a typical software/tech company, from product manager/scrum master to developer. Hone your attention to what you really want and if you aren't sure, then start anywhere. You won't know until you try!
I'm not sure if LinkedIn is big in Australia but recruiters in America will scramble to you with offers for possible jobs if you update your profile with the latest tech and frameworks. Your non-standard background definitely will attract interest so give it a go.
This is the concerning part for me and is why I have been holding off on this purchase (for reference, I check their website/twitter/mastodon for news/updates every second day or so).
The price rise, while making sense, also says to me that they're trying to gain access to more funds now rather than in the future.
A game I used to play as a teenager: Quakeworld Teamfortress. There are a few discord channels for the various countries where people still play (US: https://discord.gg/FStt9pw, Brazil: https://discord.gg/Ew3NY2Z, Australia: https://discord.gg/amed6v) with organised games happening on particular days each week. What's great is that development/new maps are still being made.
There was a great BBC doc a few years ago (2009) called "A Farm for the Future". It was about someone from a traditional farming family discovering/researching/interviewing around permaculture. In one of the interviews she mentions that traditionally she can feed 5 people an acre, whilst the interviewee was claiming 10+. I believe permaculture has come along in leaps and bounds since, so it is well worth reading up on.
