I am a developer at The Washington Post and I help build newsroom facing tools. I also am the Chair of the DC chapter of ACM and produce a podcast called DC Tech Stories.
Quitting a terrible job after only 6 months. It just WASN'T working, I was unhappy, bored, angry, and I didn't really see it changing. I got A LOT of shit from people saying I was just a millennial jumping jobs whenever something hard came along, but no, it was really not a good fit and it was best for both parties. Now I am at a place that fits my career goals, my interests, and my lifestyle.

Anybody giving you shit for leaving a job that was clearly not working out for anyone is an idiot. Congrats on finding a place you're happy with!
Hard not to be happy at Washington Post :P
