Fentanyl is used in hospitals as a pain killer… I’ve never heard of it being used for the stuff you listed. Are you thinking of ketamine?

Guess the junior dev they had building their systems hadn’t figured out regex yet lol

Godspeed

It’s very possible that movie had an influence on my career decisions lol

I did first@last.me and can confirm, it confuses people all too often.

I grew up with my dad always doing work in and around the house himself and now as an adult doing the same with my house, so I wasn’t completely going in blind. My last programming job was in the office furniture industry and that gave me a leg up having knowledge about casework, tabletops, etc. My brother in law was also a finish carpenter (now a job superintendent, but we work in fairly different areas/companies) and I had helped him with side work over the years.

As an ex-programmer that is now in the trades I can say my mental health is way better and my back hurts less these days since I’m not sitting in an expensive “ergonomic” chair all day. There are a lot of high paying trades that are far from back breaking work. Personally I got in to finish carpentry building science labs specifically.

There’s also the added benefit that I like playing with computers again, when it was my day job I wanted nothing to do with them after work.
