I've been looking for work the past few months. I've never been great at the people-networking side of the software engineering business but know enough people to get some good referrals from Staff Engineer / Director level former coworkers. Despite meeting all the requirements, and being referred by a current employee...I'm just getting simple rejection emails. Previously I thought of referrals as a great signal that someone was good candidate and was worth at least a phone call. Is that no longer the case?

No form of transport requires less energy than telecommuting. Why aren't there Zoom/MS Teams/Slack bill-boards on 101 and 880? Where is everyone's outrage at needlessly requiring people to move themselves into offices and the congestsion, waste, and environmental damage it causes?

What's the best way to get a SPA up and running quickly if you generally dislike the unholy trinity of html/css/js and the endless frameworks to manage and combine them?

Now that Elm-UI appears to be dead, is there anything else that would allow me to just compose code? Is Flutter's web app support fleshed out enough? Blazor / Bolero seem good except for shipping the entire .Net runtime to the browser as WASM.

Are any of the Rust -> WASM projects mature enough to provide a pleasant and quick developer experience?

I'm asking because many of my side projects stall out when I get to coding a front-end; I lose the passion as I don't find coding for the browser enjoyable regardless of the frameworks I have tried. Maybe there is a tool / language / framework out there that I am missing.
