Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Oh, I'm pretty sure
That any business you start won't be hiring me.

You can't afford me, dahling.

But you'll never start your own business. If you were going to, you would have, by now.
New I would never hire you
because you're not worth what you think you are.

And you're an arrogant prick too.

New Re: I would never hire you
I hope someday top have my own business so I can hire you

Uh huh.

And really, is this the way you engage with people who are giving you actual practical free advice about how to fix the shitty situation you're in?

Like Scott said: your attitude stinks. And that will shine out of you at interview. You might think that that's a load of touchy-feely bollocks, and that's your right, but hiring managers are people like me and we're well into the touchy-feely bollocks, because it doesn't matter how good you are: hiring an asshole onto the team just isn't worth it.
New Amen to that.
I've worked with assholes who were extremely prolific developers. They create a poisonous atmosphere and the added productivity is not worth the trouble at all because everyone else's suffers.

At my current place the biggest part of the interview is team fit. It's extremely important. Someone who's going to whine about everything isn't going to pass that filter.

New same in my current shop, I can train anyone to do this
What I don't need is someone who thinks,

that is not my job description
Why do I have to do this instead of (x,y,z)
it doesn't work the way I expect it to so down tools
If my supervisor didn't tell me to do it I don't have to
you only do your assigned work with no thinking about how to make it all better

All of the above are valid issues but you won't be working long on my crew.
you can kill people for America at age 18 but need to be 21 to buy a beer
New Yep.
