I was a young engineer visiting Massachusetts for a chip-bringup.

A college buddy had ditched engineering and was at Harvard law.

I stopped by his dorm and played a round of Diplomacy with them. I’m a terribly trusting person, and my “honesty is the best policy” style of gameplay did not leave my nation in the best of positions.

Fun game, certainly different.

I always put etckeeper on my hosts as an early step. Not quite what you are asking for, but most config is represented in /etc, so having that saved in git is quite a treat.

I’ve never understood gambling addiction other than as a gambling-version of substance abuse. Uncut Gems brought it into sharp, uncomfortable, focus.

I enjoy my job and I am making a difference in technology. I go above and beyond when I want to almost exclusively. I’m well paid and rewarded for my efforts.

The company and I are square every 2 weeks. The people and connections are owed my loyalty.
