Hi everyone! Bit late to the party, aren't I? I haven't been online for two years before this week. The revival of my account has been going well :)

I graduated college about two months ago, and started my first real job as a software developer almost immediately after. It's been a wild time, and I've been having a lot of fun (read: pain) figuring out how the adult world works

The job itself has been pretty good. The tech is new enough to keep me engaged, and my coworkers are all awesome - it's that type of millennial workplace that has a ping-pong table in the break room and a regularly scheduled board-game night after hours

Truth be told, I've been working really hard to try and make a good impression. Maybe too hard? I don't know. I don't think I come across as insincere or trying too hard to impress, but my only context for this work environment comes from internships in the past. Either way, I'm making it work. It sure is nice to not be fucking broke for once!

I also (obviously) decided to get back into Hubski! I've been craving a more thoughtful environment for sharing articles recently. I think the precipitating incident came from scrolling through Medium comments, thinking, "Wow these people sure are reactionary!" and copping a craving for someone as analytical as @kleinbl00 to tell people what's what.

Anyway, I'm here! For those of you who haven't met me or don't remember me, it's nice to meet you!
