You think doing gig work for pennies and slowly losing your dignity is better than just going into an office?

I'm sorry but the absolute privilege of the author here, goodness...

You sure about that?

I also can't find in-office work here because there just aren't as many opportunities locally, so I work full time for minimum wage to scrape my bills. Then I code on the weekend.

No dignity lost, but certainly lost my faith in software leadership.

My impression from TFA is not about lack of opportunity, which I would understand. The author simply refuses to work in an office.
