So it looks like my current term contract doing Rules as Code for the gov't of Canada will expire in a couple of months. If you have generic advice about how to do a job search when your expertise is so niche as to be almost singleton, let me know. 🙂

I do not pretend to know the challenges you face in searching for new work, but I can share a bit my experience of going through a similar sounding situation.

Sorry to hear that.. I'm no help, but would you like to share bit of a retrospective? Does this mean Blawx is going to be scrapped? Why do you think it didn't come to be?

On the contrary, they are committed to the tool, just not to employing me! In all likelihood they will end up paying me more as a contractor.
