Can confirm. Very nice people and they know what programming is about. And IIRC they're doing New York and some other cities too.

Used random orbital polisher to apply Rain-X on windshield, rear window, and front side windows. Waiting for rain.
We'll be waiting for about 2 more months...

Most of my enjoyment comes from seeing people take the setting I've built and messing with it.
Discord would be proud.

Wow, someone's a dumbfuck.
Unfortunately this codebase is written by a single person, so I only have one person to blame. Alas, I must now punish myself by smacking my head into a wall.

Jackal, actually. It's from Far Cry 2. Was a good game. And this world is going mad. So mad that Jackal starts to make sense. So why not.
(You'll get it if you ever played the game.)

@Gąska Only NYC is even remotely close.

@Zenith there's Seattle!
I mean, I was using their services about 2 years ago. They said they're going to expand to other cities. I assumed they did by now.
-
@Gąska I learned to not take "coming soon" seriously a long time ago :/
When I apply for jobs even 1-2 hours away in the same state, they're always preoccupied with whether I can reliably commute there and then never believe me anyway. How people are interviewed for jobs on the other side of the country is just baffling. In my family, one's done it successfully with the same education and little experience while another's been flown out to big names and turned down despite a higher level degree from an internationally recognized university. No rhyme or reason to it.
I've been sort of stuck here. When I started putting Texas as somewhere I'd move to for a job, I started getting pinged by people in Utah and Iowa and Georgia and Ukraine, as if there's no middle ground between "right here" and "everywhere else." Guess that's a less than subtle hint for me to continue on the self-employment route if I want to do development again. There are days that I want to just flee the country and start over somewhere else.

Aww don't tell me you can't read chicken scratch!
In summary, 2019 Tacoma 6 cylinder, access cab. $2.5k down, 3 year lease 15k mile limit, monthly payment $85/mo.
Nothing printed yet, so I'm wondering what they had to do to get there, as the other guys could hardly get down to $198/mo.

36 month lease with a 30 month payment upfront.
Leasing is pretty common here but I've never seen a lease with an upfront payment of more than 9 months.
