Out of curiosity: what was the reason for quitting your job at Pure Storage?
- xena 4y agoThe company was a bad fit for me. I only really got that job so I could work with Foone. They said I would be doing product development but ended up maintaining Python 2 code. I left as soon as I could find an alternate employer. It being the year that the 45th president of the US was elected didn't help either. That whole year was a wash for me and I only list that stuff here because I use this data to help me write immigration forms.

- woodruffw 4y agoThis is a dressed up way of saying “buck up,” which is neither helpful nor polite. The GP is clearly intelligent; it’s safe to assume that they might have reasons other than mislaid priorities.
- KindAndFriendly 4y agoOk, thank you for the response. Have a nice day!
- brezelgoring 4y ago>I only really got that job so I could work with Foone That's very honest of you. I know you didn't ask but taking a job just to work with a microcelebrity seems a bit short-sighted, was it worth it in the end? I wonder if learning from him/her was your plan, did you learn something?
- xena 4y agoI did learn from them (Foone prefers they/them pronouns). I kinda miss the chaotic energy Foone brought to the equation. Standups were fun. But I did also learn that it's okay to throw in the towel early if things aren't working out. It was a better work environment for me than I had at the prior job, but the job just wasn't for me.
- brezelgoring 4y agoGood on you for giving it your best. Thanks for the answer, Xena.
- yieldcrv 4y agoHow did 2016 or the election affect that? Was it related to quickly put in place immigration law changes?
- xena 4y agoI'm transgender. You can figure things out from that.
