the kick in my mouth is the feeling of inadequacy that this whole fruitless job search is giving me. there are no other job ads to submit anymore, the fact that I got no offers at all for this long is signalling to me that I have no place in programming

pffft who needs to google when you can roll your own posix compliant array implementation

code:

anew()  
{       
        printf %s\\n "$@"
}

alen()
{
        wc -l
}

aset()
{
        sed -e "$1s/.*/$(printf %s\\n "$2" | sed -e 's/[][/*\\.^$]/\\&/g')/"
}       

aref()
{
        sed -ne "$1p"
}

(escaping values is left as an exercise)

LinkedIn automatically turns off your message indicating you're open to opportunities if you ignore enough messages. Give a gently caress though because there's no penalties for turning it back on immediately.
