It's pissing rain which funny enough reminds me of my old job as a dev at the company I used to work at (IYKYK).

I used to be the only one who'd cycle to work (because least-paid dev), and I would show up to work fucking dripping.

And there was no "damn what a legend he shows up rain or shine", but silent judgment of "wtf is wrong with this guy we underpay in a city with no public transport?"

I didn't think about it at the time but it's shit like that that shows the racism problem in tech hiring.

"Let's let a dev whom we've not given a raise in almost 5 YEARS roll up to work cold as fuck and get all pissy about him dripping all over the office"

"Meritocracy" my dick.
