Wow that was notable to them in Austin? That sucks.
it's all good though since i got the last laugh. they hired me to create some software for them and they ended up losing all of it when they fired me because i never checked any of the source into github and the laptop i worked from was locked & encrypted using my own account; so they ended up with nothing.
some of them called me "fabulous" loudly and in front of everyone a few times and my autistic ass genuinely thought that they were complimenting me. lol.
i didn't realize until months afterwards that they were either trying to provoke or shame me and my only regret is that i wish i had realized what was happening at the time so that i could turn it on it's head and do things to make them REALLY clutch their pearls.
Austin is probably the fakest "liberal" city in the US. If you have to live in Texas live in Dallas.
