Been in the tech biz for &gt;20 years now. Back in &#39;98 I started DynDNS. I have forgotten almost everything I knew about #DNS.<br/><br/>I love making things work. Finding problems and solving them. Bringing people together, especially online where it&#39;s inexplicably less terrifying than in person.<br/><br/>And of course I love the #solidarity, #community, and support of #union organizing! 2022-11-11T02:30:25Z
