    Hey there, I just wanted to say that I really like this comment. I used to work a tech-centric position at an office type job and the amount of electronic waste there was insane. Seeing a huge dumpster full of old computer parts was quite depressing. Good on you for taking matters into your own hands. I would love to do something like that if I am ever in that sort of position again. Good luck!

      Ironically enough, I started at a young age because of that electronic waste. My father worked in IT too and skimmed some stuff out of the waste pile to take home and used it to get me started on my own journey. We weren’t very wealthy and couldn’t afford many new parts, so much of my childhood was me learning how to make the most of whatever I could get my hands on, and I just carried that forward as an adult.
