  I had some experience as a compliance manager. My prior role was not technical.

  Most junior engineers at my company have been hired through cold applications straight out of school.

  1 day a week in the office, a couple weeks of travel a year, company is pretty chill with workload.

  I got my software engineering job by cold applying through the company’s website straight out of school in late 2024…

  Yeah exactly. I kept a second one on-site until I went 95% remote.

  At the bottom of the photo, there are two wrist rests I built out of some spare wood and a wrist rest off of Amazon that I cut in half with a saw and then stitched/glued closed so it doesn’t look like hell.

  The keyboard halves are stuck to some phone stands using an adhesive Magsafe ring, and the stands are stuck down to the black steel plate with some flat magnets and grippy silicone. The entire thing breaks down in seconds and I can store it to bring to the office. The steel plate is the most annoying thing to transport.

  Happy to answer other questions!

  It completely eliminated the pain in my elbow and forearm that I would get while typing on a flat keyboard

  That’s why I have a vertical mouse and I built a split vertical keyboard! a split vertical mechanical keyboard

  Yeah I had the same experience. I played it all the way to all endings, thinking “the incredible game everyone talks about is right around the corner”, but it never came. Art design is great, plot is OK although hamfisted, gameplay is fairly trash, and weeb shit everywhere became a turnoff.

  I switched to Niagara a few years ago and can never go back. The alphabetized list of apps and slick scroll are super addictive.

  Here’s what it looks like: (ignore the use of Papyrus, I just use it because it drives my friends nuts)

  Yeah I felt the same way. I kept playing because of the hype around it, but quit after 8 hours or so.
