      If you're new to the software industry, or looking for a job, you really should be listening to those doing the work. You don't have to agree with everything they say, but you should be listening. Ask questions and challenge everything -- even if you can't afford to say it out loud.

      Article 1 - He makes me eat lunch and take a mid-day walk. I make him drink tea in the afternoons. The dog thinks it's 2020 and he gets to play endless fetch again.

      We who are working our asses off to keep our neighbors housed and fed are making amazing things happen with mutual aid, but we shouldn’t have to be left to be doing this on our own!
