Software engineering pays better, I get to leave my work at the office when I come home, and I don’t get into absurd, venomous intellectual spats with my colleagues in the office.\n\nYou’ll learn a lot more about me by reading my posts.","pronouns":"","is_following":false,"is_you":false,"following_count":16,"discover_count":0},"author":{"name":"Adam Vinueza","url":"","avatar":"https://micro.blog/adamvinueza/avatar.jpg"},"items":[{"id":"62015676","content_html":"
