Absolutely, and thanks for asking. Also, congrats! I'd recommend looking at credit unions (US/Canada) and higher ed. Both are non-profits and good stepping stones. Either can be a career if you don't want a 'stepping stone.' Depending on how altruistic you want to be, you can find either that serve underserved communities. CUs pay better, but are more corporate and demanding. Higher ed doesn't pay as well, but is more laid back if you can ignore politics, which there is a ridiculous amount of. I worked at a HBCU (US) for a long time, and it was pretty great. Depending on where you are, it's usually pretty easy to find an open spot at either.

Mom took him to a big office building parking lot on a Sunday when it was quiet. At least that's how this classically trained driver learned.

Me too, 2010ish though. I wish I could figure out how to boycott AWS. As an aged developer with a little bit of influence, I've steered plenty of clients, employers, and peers away, but I still use the internet. There's no detaching from that.

Definitely. Assuming they kept the film and it's in serviceable condition.

Heard a time or three, but without the drums.

Deezer is pretty good. https://www.deezer.com

I've been using it for years now and haven't come up empty on anything I've searched for. Their algo is good and doesn't push bullshit.

My parents once referred to this as a 'disco nap.'

Just looking at that workspace makes my neck hurt.

My house shoes don't have whatever I walked through in the rest station bathroom on them.

Those brands are at the bottom of every dependability list. You'd think they'd focus on building a better product so they could compete on something other than feels.
