I realized I had social capital skills and acquired a reputation that were enough to allow me to cross class boundaries. I learned this during greenfield and brownfield work in startups and it really didn’t sink in until my enormous architecture gig for Utah State Board of Education. I am almost fully self-educated and autodidactic so I had massive impostor syndrome among my colleagues with masters or doctorates in compsci or whatever specialty like data analysis. they hated that I didn’t need the degrees and still was more performant and widely capable. Yay me for my personal growth from living and breathing tech hellscapes for a while. I’m a fixer, no doubt. oh I also knew i was decent at sexual gratification when she said wtf to my gf after coming and my gf said “i know! right!?” My gf held her and I during and was so encouraging to her friend. I already blew her man too. I was beaming after I chauffeured 3 people in a row to their little deaths. The last on seems like kinda prescient whatever.
