I've been working on ruby on rails since 1.2. I have linux servers at home and a business-class network setup. I've created docker containers from scratch and set up AWS Fargate and all the related services to run them and connect them to a public IP address.

There are a lot of people with similar experience, what makes me different is I'm interested in understanding how the entire company works, the industry it is in, and the people who make it happen.

- I was on the board of directors for furry convention for 3 years where I learned a lot about running a business.

- Learned a bit about accounting and Human Resources from relatives. I know how to spell HIPAA correctly. :)

- I've worked with E&S insurance, student loan origination, college resume processing, and European auto parts.

- I've worked directly with C-suite on high-visibility, long-term projects.

- I've learned a bit about B2B sales and customer relations by tagging along to an insurance conference.

I also think it's a great place to work.

The company has been around for a while and stayed committed to the principals they started with.

We’re a small team, all fully-remote, optimizing for sustainability. We get a lot done without people working weekends and burning themselves out. :)

I find it amusing that someone would be closer to the CEO through six degrees of separation than through the levels of management.

Isn’t it on the people administering those systems to disable autofill on their side?

Given how often I remote into my iMac over a vpn that has both cellular and WiFi networks to deal with, none of these bothered me.

One of the Kroger stores near me has meal kits next to the salad bar.

I’m pretty sure banning autonomous defensive weapons won’t happen because we already have them deployed. The Phalanx CIWS mounted on US Warships has a fully autonomous mode where it will fire on targets automatically.

If you count ICBMs, we’ve had them at least since the 1960s.

For more targeted strikes with conventional explosives, we started using Tomahawk Cruise Missiles in 1991 during the Gulf War.

My iPhone did this to me. I’m sure people get suggested to share memories of their abusive ex all the time. :(

HIPAA requires any email with patient data be encrypted. That kills any attempt to receive email on a smart phone.

Please don’t do that. People make that joke all the time. It’s not funny and we have to pretend to find it amusing or we get written up.

Good sleep hygiene, work, and having a social life aren't always compatible.

This happens if you have full disk encryption enabled. If the laptop goes into hibernation, the disk is no longer mounted. So you need to enter your password to mount the drive which then drops you into the lock screen to enter your password again.

Ideally, the computer should be able to know you just woke the computer from hibernation and skip the second lock screen but I don't think the systems are integrated enough to do that right now. :)
