My most ridiculous middle aged guy trait is that my wallet is a decrepit pre-9/11 relic that's stuffed full of old cards that I can't ever get rid of because at this point they're load-bearing.

Getting close to launching Spanish support in Clearbox. This was a lot of work, and I'm super excited about it!
The big lesson I learned is that there's really no easy way to set up an app for localization and then have it be edited by someone non-technical.

Spent my summer learning as much as I could about immigration law to fill in the awkward gaps I kept running into talking to customers. The immigration system in the US is wild, and I probably still only have about a 10% understanding of it, but that's a lot better than the 0.5% I had before!

Imagine a dystopian sci-fi movie that starts with AI becoming self-aware by, at the exact same time, a meme-nerd googling that Shirt Brother skit from I Think You Should Leave and a eurovision-dork on opposite side of the world asking Alexa to play "No Rules" by Windows95Man.
