" Although it can seem like a dumpster fire at times,
  this dumpster fire has kept me warm. " - Carmen Kolohe

1. How are you? 
   Sydney: I hate you. Something something, I'm mean because I like it.
   Mortimer: Meow. Ack. Meow.
   Jeff: I'm doing alright. It's a 7/10. This stream is making it better.
   Dani: I'm pretty great. I've been sleeping for 8hrs+ a night.

2. What tips do you have for surviving code school?
   Jonan: Pomodoros, exercise, meditate, therapy.
   Jeff: Do what you love, as long as it's coding. Just kidding not that. Jeff
     actually said cooking. Instead of doing homework he made stew.
   Sydney: I made a bunch of friends, stuck to my people. They'll get you
     through it.
   Dani: I would make a list for myself, I need a map. Keeping a list of what
     I'm trying to accomplish helps me get things done and recover from
     distractions. Leaving breadcrumbs for myself and for my future employers by
     keeping those high-level objectives somewhere public, perhaps as milestones
     on issues in GitHub.

3. Tech question for Sydney specifically: what's your least favorite thing about
  coding?
  Sydney: When people remove the people from coding.
  Dani: Tech interviews; that is to say that, most interviews select problem areas
    that are not applicable to the daily life of a programmer.
  Jeff: Getting comfortable with the idea that I don't know what I'm doing and
    that's my job now. 
  Jonan: I said too many words already I'm all out.

4. What inspired you to get into tech?
  Dani: I got into this industry so that I could be on TheJonanShow. It's my
    favorite show. It's never boring. I love it. Largely sums it up, Dani
    actually came here because it's never boring and I get to learn forever.
    Shout out to my partner who works in cyber security, I'm here to make tech
    better for everyone.
  Jeff: I used to poke needles into people for fun on boats. Also I taught people
    to hurt each other. It was a lot of fun. I told myself I couldn't code, but
    then some friends convinced me it was possible. I thought "self, if your
    friends who can't do stuff good can do it, you can too."
  Sydney: For every lively group chat there's always one on the side where they're
    just talking dookie about you. SMASHING THE PATRIARCHY - best answer. 5 points
    for WhateverHouseSydneyIsFrom.
    Dani adds: I see you like to talk about DE&I... Show me your C level.
  Jonan: Money. Also I like money.
