How to Survive Your First Tech Job
Tech companies make my blood boil. I live in San Francisco, where I'm surrounded by them.

So, so many bro-grammers. ...

Uhh, Otto?
There is playing poor defense, entirely blowing a play on defense, and not even trying to play defense ... and then there is whatever the hell Otto Porter was doing here.
