I was attempting humor.
As was I. No doubt if there actually was a pre-entry quiz for this forum, I'd never make it in.

Ha, I wasn't. I don't understand people who come here, grok jacob's message, yet avoid reading the book. I'm not making a sales pitch, I just don't understand why people wouldn't want to learn as much as possible about ERE if they discover it's their thing.

Well, it is also true that I am bored with the "work 40+ hours/week at high paying tech field job" solution space, because:

I really hope this catches on: the practice of explaining what emoji you would insert but not actually inserting an emoji. As a Gen X'er, it's just perfect for me, like using an abbreviation followed by a parenthetical explaining what the abbreviation means, IYKWIM (If You Know What I Mean).

This is over my hear (perhaps not surprisingly). Would one of you mind explaining to me what the "solution space" you're talking about is?
