Stress and excess Halloween candy is a dangerous combo. It's only 3PM and I've already consumed all the peanut m&ms and almond joys and am a good way through the snickers. At this rate there will only be whoppers and twizzlers left by the time the first results start rolling in.

Hi friends! Small intro: at home I enjoy programming, video games (Factorio, DotA, PoE), and networking and home automation projects in between parenting my toddler and newborn. I work at Microsoft, mostly on the Azure SDK for JS and an API specification language named TypeSpec.
