This one's got a surprising dip in likes -- I suspect it's cuz of some tech glitch in delivery, but also --- maybe the turnaround does not resonate with the people having similar issues (true for me, I'm sorry to say) ?

It needs to have a little motif of Ragemode Liz by it.

I only saw today's comic so I thought we went from headpats to "good talk". Then I checked the main site and realised I'd missed a strip.

What about "The Burnout Bar"? Employing solely burned-out baristas.
Though, that's a little sad for Marten xD

I think she's wondering if Liz is going to turn green and grow massive.

Or maybe she finished with it. I mean, there are some projects that can only be taken so far, and then it's this thing that you've made.
I mean, on the one hand one has projects like Wolfram Mathematica, which has been used by its creator in many additional wonders. And on the other hand, you have things like Conway's Life, which doesn't feel like it has the same potential. Sure, there have been a lot of people who have made a lot of interesting patterns with it, but it's not exactly a spring board for anything else.

Love the surprised look on Iris' face in panel 3. It's the first time she's been put on the back foot in a long time.

Wow, looks I like got into the job market just in time. When they hired me, they were just looking for 24 year olds with college diplomas and 50 years of experience. I was fortunate enough to find one that was grudgingly willing to accept a 25 year old with the ability to snow their interviewers.
To be clear, I gave confident, incorrect answers that they did not know were wrong. That said, they were also answers to questions that were leading into sections rather than important in their own right, and while I could have probably handled those sections just fine, being able to skip them gave me more time to figure out answers for the parts that were really hard.
Although, one answer I used to skip a section was actually accurate. They started with, "Are you familiar with vi or emacs?" I responded with, "I actually submitted code to the nvi project that got accepted, but not until after I found out about vim, which already had that feature."

I don't know if it's Patreon or Dropbox, but there's one creator I follow whose pieces display as Dropbox-downloadable files, and recently they've been displaying for about a second then being replaced by the incredibly informative error message
"Error

Liz reminds me of me ~20 years ago. I was an IT student back in the day, but as one of my teachers said, "Employers are looking for 18 year olds with 50 years experience."
Ended up having to settle for warehouse work, and been with my current job these past 16 years. I miss the studies, but I probably would have cooked my brain in a business environment.

Probably Patreon being glitchy. Like that for me too. It's happened before.

Eventually Liz will realize that genius isn't a thing you do, it's a thing you have. It rises to surface when something catches your interest. The reason she's stuck in a rut is because she's narrowed her definition of genius to the things she's done with it previously, which she has clearly gotten bored with. She needs to find something she enjoys doing, then she will be a genius at that.
