Mbin performs quite well. I just applied the most recent update which removed mercure and it’s very fast now.
I was probably the most prominent person who runs both and had database issues with k/mbin. I am happy to say that those are well behind me, largely because of the skill and patience of the Mbin team helping me resolve them.
It’s a rough job market for several reasons. My best recommendation is to do something that will distinguish yourself from others (blog, podcast, etc etc) and also try to establish a relationship with someone at prospective employers to get them to “pull” you in. I know, I know, easier said than done, but that’s where we are at.
This is great! I should do one of these
