That's awesome. That should help significantly

CFingers crossed 
I'm also gradually picking apart how to use GTK4 properly to make an image switcher app, and planning to poke some bears about potentially making the first truly official chromium-based-browser Flatpak happen

CIf I can get a second specific person in one thread to hash out details, I think it's possible
CThe trouble is getting in touch with them
ESounds very promising. Would be nice to have both lol
CMy thoughts as well lol
CIf you've heard of htmx or hyperscript, he designed both. Great guy, and I learned a LOT from him
CI do think it'll help a lot to have that connection on my resume
CI should probably look into getting some certifications too, though
EThat's really cool. Internships usually go a long way. I went to school with a couple friends that interned at IBM and were offered positions there right after. It helps to have work experience from the get go
CI've had my eye on IBM/RH and AMD, if I can get in the door with either of them
ERH or Canonical would be a dream
CI may not be a big fan of Canonical but I'd probably take it over a "defense" contractor these days
EI live about 2 hours away from a ton of def contractors and I've had good luck landing interviews with them. Problem is relocating to a significantly more dangerous area
CAhhh
CYeah, one of my three most promising leads was Raytheon, but then I ended up in a city three hours away from the factory where they would really want me
CDefense contractors are way ahead of the curve on smart manufacturing, which is one of my specialties
EI'm by Lockheed, Cobham, Raytheon, and a few others
VMy CCNA teacher worked for Lockheed
VWe hear a lot of stories that'd make you a bit worried https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/867883465714302987.webp?size=48&name=hlGaben&quality=lossless
CIf I'd stayed where I grew up and gone for Aerospace Engineering instead of what I do, I would've been applying to Lockheed for sure
EI have no doubt about it lol
Ti think we are from the same state... im just not as close to the blast zone like you 
ECO?
Tnvm
TPA
VFor example, they had a BIG problem with employees putting their passwords on post-its right next to their computer.
Tall 3 are there too
Tnot as scary as i thought
Twait
CI would like to not be in TX, but such is life. My motorcycle is still in CO...
EYeah... we have Colorado Springs right below us and Cheyanne to the north of us. Equal distances away
VOh yeah and one of their developers knew literally no programming. My teacher, as one of their network engineers, was tasked with teaching him.
VThis guy had been a developer his entire career
VHe was 50
CLockheed is.. a bit west, yeah?
EYup
CFrom your github profile and the location, I think I may have known a relative of yours lol
VHe got fired. And then got a job at Ratheon. As a developer.
EDon't make me regret not putting Antartica as my locale
CParted ways years ago for a number of reasons, but I thought it was a funny coincidence
CReminded me of a time I met someone in an entirely different state who confirmed my story that the best fudge is from a gas station in Buena Vista
EThe best fudge is from a small store in the middle of nowhere (towards Fairplay)
CIntriguing
CAlso intriguing because Fairplay is on the way to Buena Vista lol
CFrom Denver
CBV also has grilled salmon BLTs and dirtbiking trails, so I am somewhat biased
EFound it on our way to Mesa Verde over the summer
CSure you didn't pass through BV and hit the same gas station? 
CPopulation of 3k and surrounded by mountain trails is pretty middle of nowhere ish
CEither way, also a fun coincidence of great fudge from an arbitrary tiny place southwest of Denver
