> This place is like somebody's memory of a town, and the memory is fading.

That's a quote from the first season of True Detective. It's stuck with me because it's almost exactly how I've always described the small midwest town that I grew up in.

I started working part-time remote around 2010, and full-time in 2016 until June of 2023. I stayed close to tech hubs because I never felt like it was a particularly safe arrangement.
