Thanks to you and your cool boss. Do you also have a not so cool boss, too?
I actually have 2 cool bosses. The other one is a hacker with ties (but I believe not membership) with the CCC, who has worked helping establish humanitarian tech companies in Africa and who self-hosts whatever he can.
Sorry dude, but I envy you 😂. Let's swap places.
