I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I've been ghosted after getting an offer. I accepted it verbally, and they kept putting me off about when my start date would be, but I stopped applying for other positions (obviously). After about three weeks, the recruitment company called me to say they couldn't get the company to answer their calls either but had been left a message saying they didn't want me after all.
He/Him/His
I'm a Software Engineer and a teacher.
There's no feeling quite like the one you get when you watch someone's eyes light up learning something they didn't know.

Oh gosh! That's terrible!
Were you working somewhere else at the time? Did you give notice to that employer yet?
This was a few years ago, and I was looking for work because my previous company had gone bust.
