  • Welcome back! ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

    Week is going alright. Found out I’ll be moving ahead with an interview to the tech stage, after that it’s a full panel then the decision. Got a few other options but admittedly this one seems the best so far in terms of benefits and pay. I’m gonna try to crash course myself and refresh my knowledge.

    Outside of that, I’ll be “enjoying” a Pacific NW heatwave this week. At least I have AC, though.





  • I’m a cis male, so I can’t speak from the perspective of an LGBTQ+ person, just an ally. I definitely want to echo that Eastern WA (east of the Cascades) is much more conservative than western WA. As someone who lives in Spokane and moved from the west side of the state, I hear can be a better place, but frankly it’s relative to eastern WA and Idaho. Spokane is a short drive (~30 minutes or so) to Idaho, and even less-so to its counterpart Spokane Valley. Even then, it’s a stark contrast between north Spokane city and south Spokane city.

    Puget Sound, specifically King county, will be the best place in my opinion for Washington. The greater Seattle metro and i5 corridor is probably the right place to start looking. Keep in mind the further from Seattle and Capitol Hill you go, the more pockets of right-wing you find.




    • Go and Terraform/helm (sorta counts) for work. Rust at home. I usually need to interpret Python at home as well, I have some Home Assistant setups but not actively using it.
    • Rust is great, it has a learning curve I’m getting used to with syntax vs. Go but I’m getting the hang of it. I would love to find work where I use Rust daily.
    • Right now I’m interested in Rust, so gonna go that route. The Bicep config for Azure looks interesting, so hopefully will try that out sooner or later.
