I'm looking for remote tech work!
I have been teaching code and coding (mostly ruby- and JS-adjacent stacks) for startups and big companies alike since 2014.
I'll be a multiplier on your team because my communication is clear, kind, and proactive and I write tests for my shit.

Loyalty to specific people who are not in tight sync with the mission and how to achieve it will create factionalism and undermine the well-being of the community. It is often the case, and quite beautiful, that personal loyalties exist. #principleoftheday (1/2)

- graphic cards and console shortages, creating high demand for alternatives.
If only they hit the market at a better time
