Where I am now
Living in Tucson, in Arizona’s Sonora desert. It’s been an interesting shift after living near Puget Sound most of my life.
Hey did you know it’s hot in Tucson?
Who I am around now
Let’s see. It’s me, Mrs Geek, and four critters.
The critters? Two dogs: Bouncy Dog and Jumpy Dog. Two cats: Jack and Barry.
What I am doing now
Job hunting. Looking for a senior backend dev? Here’s my LinkedIn profile. Meanwhile, to pay rent—
Of all the weird-ass situations.
After roughly a quarter century of writing code for pay, I pretty much gave up on the dumpster fire that is the modern tech job market. I currently work as a contractor in a commissary for the ADCRR, distributing purchases made by inmate customers.
I don’t like any kind of prison system. No I don’t have a better idea, or at least nothing that doesn’t involve fundamentally rewiring our culture from the ground up.
But hey, I’m finally paying my share of rent again. Meanwhile by the magic of providing decent customer service, this is already the most direct action I’ve done to help folks in need for easily a decade.
What else?
- rebuilt my site in Astro to have some fun with frontend tech in a SSG context
- built my knowledge garden up to several thousand pages, then tore it down to rebuild one big page at a time in Org Roam.
