Yeah I’ve had so many Chevy’s spoof me into thinking they were backing out of a parking spot only to realize they weren’t, infuriating

Lincoln’s nice though I have found Omaha a little more affordable, same great purple people, same crappy state government
Armatrons were pretty neat but I can definitely imagine why functional ones are nigh impossible to obtain, I would imagine all the plastic gearing inside either chipped away by careless use and worn down over years
I know that, I was just refuting the claim that “your not going to make that kind of money in a flyover state”, it is possible, and you don’t have to work the big 5 here either, and the cost of living is way less.
I’m a software architect, though even when I was just a senior java developer I was making 130k, software pays well even in the fly overs.
I live in Nebraska, and all comp included make around 155k per year salary + bonus. You can make that kind of money even here in the “shit”
My favorite project was around 6 years ago when my former employer was looking to modernize the customer service automation experience with AI, it started with a round the US tour of going to the HQ’s of 4 big tech companies in the space(IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, Google at the time) as part of an investigatory team. We were to select what we thought would be the best engine to run conversational AI in our applications, during that time we were also given greenfield to write a modern framework apart from our existing technology to leverage it. Over the course of a year and a half we went from ideation to the creation of an omni-channel conversational framework that netted me and the team a patent, and allowed me to flex architecture skillset that lead me to my current role as a solution architect working with some of the same people at another better company. Definitely the most fun, exciting and rewarding project of mine to date.
I’ve run into this twice, both times I’ve had to deal with Microsoft Support for around 2-3 hours to resolve, shitty for a paying customer.
The CenturyLink fiber plan is pretty nice, me and my brother in law are on it and it runs as advertised and I’ve had maybe 2 outages in the 3 years I’ve had it, unlike my previous provider where it would be like 1 per quarter
I had to learn how to use that in the military, used to call it crashinal rose
