What Griff said.
I can't imagine anyone hiring a freelancer without much experience unless it's a one-off, throwaway project that nobody's willing to pay a reasonable rate for.
I have to think anyone who wants to contract out a project in C is going to be doing that simply because they don't have the people in-house to do it, and--again--are going to expect a lot of experience. You may know it well and be proficient with it, but without the track record, you won't convince anyone who's looking to spend the money on a C coder.

Check this Roadmap to becoming a web developer in 2018[^] , its strewn with JavaScript btw.

Yeah, but that map simplifies things too much, really. 
I roll my eyes here because I'm kidding and I'm _not_ kidding.

Being a roadmap for web developers, of course it is.
And it looks more like a map from hell rather than a sensible work plan. Had I seen this at the start of my career I probably would've decided that stocking shelves was the better career path.

If anything, that roadmap has shown me I'm grossly unqualified for my job (and 13,561,008 CPians with me I guess)

I'll ask you questions you should ask yourself:
Why do you want to code?
Would you do it on your own, even if you earned your money doing something else?
It can certainly be done 'just for the money' - but that would not be a very happy existence, and, I'd wager an unsuccessful one, as well.

I don't think this is a programming question... 
I'm currently porting a Java application to .NET Core.
Everything is fine except one thing...
The Java application uses bazaarvoice/jolt: JSON to JSON transformation library[^].
It's pretty neat, one JSON comes in and another JSON (with the same values, but a completely different structure) comes out.
All configured using... JSON!
I can't seem to find something similar for .NET.
Anyone know of anything?
And no, I'm not going to JSON -> XML -> XSLT -> XML -> JSON.

Thanks for the attempt though

You missed the point... XSLT can parse JSON and can write JSON... So no XML in the middle... But such XSLT is looks more nasty than the usual...

Yep, never knew XSLT could do that.
I'll continue Googling for an alternative 
Thanks though

I didn't know that library.
As for me, if you use the NewtonSoft JSON library, then you can leverage the JLinq section which offers a fluent API close to the Linq. With that you can do practically everything.
There's only a thing which does not come for free, but it's not hard to write by yourself. It's the path-mapping of the nodes. However, I'd prefer the "pull" approach: the path should represent the node to retrieve (from the source), and that should be specified in the transformation template.
Good luck!

+1 I've been using that library for several years and is one of the best pieces of software out there.
throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.

Moreover, you can write custom converters for it to provide different serialization approaches:

try googling something like Jolt .net or Joltnet or Joitsharp, maybe you can find a warpper or two, I do this all the time when I need some Java content for .net

That looks promising, thanks

Quote: Services include chanting and the burning of incense, as they would for the human departed. A-Fun employees attend the closed ceremonies, serving as surrogates for the “families” of the pets, and pliers are placed before the robodogs in place of traditional offerings like fruit. Robots even recite Buddhist sutras, or scriptures.
According to Head Priest Oi, honoring inanimate objects is consistent with Buddhist thought. Nippon.com quotes the priest: “Even though AIBO is a machine and doesn’t have feelings, it acts as a mirror for human emotions.” Speaking with videographer Kei Oumawatari, Oi cites a saying, “Everything has Buddha-nature.”

Yeah, load of bullshit.
these buddhist 'priests' get a 'packet' (envelope of money) for their 'help' and whatever entourage - professional mourners, the guy that dings the donger etc the same. A**hole scammers is all they are.
