A populist republican incumbent president running for re-election managed to lose his party the entirety of the federal government. Good.

I ended up being the solo developer on the project. The practice instituted to keep backups was to keep code on a networked server.. backing up data was doing a zip of the folder and keeping it also on the same server.

The server was in a utility closet by the bathroom that had a utility sink, used by the cleaning staff, and was literally hanging lose on a milk crate right next to the sink.

I asked the owner to institute either bit bucket or github. He asked me to write a proposal, and justify the costs, which I did. I started using github, and several weeks later, he told me to stop using it because he didn't feel the cost was justified.

I quit that job after I got called into the owners office after writing a SAAS tool for custom newsletters he wanted put together. Him being an engineer decided to audit. He scolded me for using classes, and told me I'm not allowed to use classes for things he asks me to write.

Also, if you happen to see this, big shout out for that lunch you took me to and told me you've got a powerful lawyer and if I ever tried to steal your customer I'd never work in the industry again. It was unnecessary, unprovoked, and I definitely don't need your customers.
