Haha, everyone asks, and no! We visited first in the summer, and then bought the house sight unseen and showed up in February. We lived in Alaska for awhile though, so I think we're good -- it takes a lot of winter to impress me after

I'm kind of trying to go the other way. I am amazed at how productive great front-end/js-first developers are with even just a browser console --- but I am totally flumoxed by this environment, and have trouble sinking my fingerna

Yep. When I was a student I worked in a restaurant with an ex convict who described his previous job at the meat packing plant in precisely those terms. He told me it was a hard dangerous s*** job, and back of the house in the restaurant wa
