It isn't the economy or the particular joblessness that is demoralizing.
It is the near-absolute lack of response to my contacts. Even lecturing
against applying for something that I am superficially not qualified
for. It used to be I could have someone tell me "no", now it is just
/dev/null that I consult for replies. Or even gloating about how great
it is to put snotty programmers in their place. It's a strange world,
with almost zero feedback.
