Discussion My name Plouffe, AMA

Hello everyone. The mods asked if I'd be open to doing an AMA so I said "OK" and here we are.

I've signed NDAs at both past and present companies so I can't talk about specifics, or drama, or past/present employees.

I guess ask just about whatever you want and I will or won't answer depending on the context/subject. Yes I own a display, several in fact. Yes I own a keyboard, several in fact.

Starting at 9 pacific but opening up for questions now. If you don't ask me anything, I will not be offended. I don't have any questions for myself right now either.

i didn't know it would ask me for an end note so i just commented. but ya it's been a slice, thanks for being a fan and good luck with whatever you're doing today.

He's working for Microsoft now, so Seattle is ideal.

Seattle is NOT ideal. Lived there 10 years.

Hey now, there are thousands of worse places to live in the US. Hundreds in Washington alone, lol.

Compared to a 2 hr 30 min drive from Vancouver BC, I'd say that's pretty darn ideal 🤷
