  • Exist. The US education system failed me.

    I am not “normal” I can’t read a chapter and pass a test. I need to be hands on. So the system gave me a C and moved me on to the next grade.

    I was given the privilege to realize I can program, and by high school had already become pretty handy in C++. This is before high school.

    I was a star in every tech class they had. Got Cs still of course cause i didn’t give a fuck, but it was very clear I was light-years ahead of even the teachers.

    Not one teacher, staff or administrator asked me why I wasn’t going to college? Sat me down about my grades and got me aligned. No one gave 2 shits.

    I got lucky. I got myself into the career without college. But man, those students who didn’t have the privileges I did, that just got dropped to the curb. Shame.








  • I’m probably the only one. I do not think WFH is the future.

    It takes a minute to turn around, tap PM on shoulder and ask “what about this or that?” And get an answer.

    Instead if ping in company channel. Provide all possible points of relating data. Link to all related content. And then ask my question. And hope I get an answer within an hour.

    In almost any possible professional situation it’s faster and more efficient to be in office.

    The conversation we should all be having is what compensation we will demand for the return to the office. Paided travel. Paid child care. All those things that WFH revealed to be the scam our employers pulled on us.
