Kitty motorcycle ride? That sounds awesome!
PurpleEggplant
Do you put a mini motorcycle helmet on your kitty?
pagrus
@SkellyCat @PurpleEggplant I have not asked my cats if they want to go for rides, I suspect they would decline
pagrus
@ilovemusic normally some kind of metal or jazz that is too smart for me. maybe old timey ska or dub, that never gets old

I also transitioned to a tech career from a different field, are you self-taught as well? I'd be curious to hear about your experience around here, in my experience it's been interesting to navigate the scene here without a STEM degree, still learning!

how are you enjoying the tech space after coming over from a different background? I've been in tech for a while now, started in the Bay Area and now in SoCal (transferred with a prior company). Curious what a new person in the industry sees/feels about the experience.

@TheMoose1234 I mean, that's kind of hard to summarize here. I like aspects of it, I guess, but it's hard to separate out the problematic parts sometimes. There really does seem to be a lack of perspective across the board though

@pagrus, it's just great to hear there are aspects that you do enjoy :)
