    • Had to fire one contractor cause he lied about his abilities and we didn't catch it in the interview.. we couldn't use him yet I felt kinda bad only because there was a green card issue with him and he literally begged
    That ended 10 years ago in Boston, when I started Retirement v1.0 in 2000.. the same year everybody thanked the Lord Itself when all the computers in the world DIDN'T explode when the new millennium hit.

    Now I am getting back into programming.. need to restock cash pile. Lookin to build some Minecraft plugins as a fun way to get my skills back up to snuff.

    Eventually Retirement v2.0 will commence. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Praised be Ganesh.
