Panic! at the Job Market

A chaotic scene depicting the modern job market in the tech industry. The background shows a cityscape with both well-maintained and crumbling office buildings. In the foreground, a person rides a bike past professionals in suits, another person works on a laptop with a stack of resumes beside them, a group of people have a heated discussion, and someone holds a sign that reads "Will Code for Rent." Visual elements include a graph with an upward arrow and money bags with percentage signs, symbolizing interest rates. The overall atmosphere is a mix of desperation, confusion, and determination.

First work call of the year from someone I've yet to meet. They got my number from a client at a year-end dinner.

"Good morning, I run an e-commerce and I'd like you to put it on BDS too!"
Initially, I was confused, still half asleep :-). After some persistence, I got the picture, especially when they mentioned how they got my number.
A client, who recently migrated their Magento to FreeBSD, noticed a significant performance boost. The boost is mainly due to Varnish integration, but they probably associated it with FreeBSD (which, through word of mouth, has magically become BDS).

I'll look into the feasibility (sometimes people contact you with sites stuck in 2010 and expect you to magically fix everything with an "update"), and then we'll see.
