    Worse case scenario, you'll end up in a 6-figure job making complaints into the void as you write bash scripts to speed up a pipeline by 0.1 second.

    Best case scenario, you take down a massive criminal ring that sprouts back up like a weed a few days later.

  • I always have both an appreciation and judge people who do things like this.

    I appreciate it because it's neat that people are willing to go the distance for the fun of it. People who limit themselves to specific tech or libraries. People who code for old tech like those who make brand new "retro" games, or code for Pico-8.

    Then the judgement comes in. Just... Jackie chan why.

    I still appreciate the dedication!

  • AWS Announcement.
  • Was headhunted for a position at Amazon. But the recruiter said "You might be doing more than your usual 9 to 5. (Min 40 hours)"

    And I told her that I sometimes do like 30 hours a week and my team plays video games for the remaining 5-10 hours together.

    And she actually got mad at me for saying that.
