About ionwake

Britbong, retired "rich" thanks to investments, after spending 2 decades working in terrible companies with terrible pay across the country of England.

Spending my time drinking coffee, tea and remembering to put myself down every single time I make a post on HN. You know, so I get a normal decent conversation from some thin skinned gatekeeping neckbeard burrowed deep inside a 6 figure FANG company who is not doing his job, yet clearly winning at life.

Sorry. I promise Ill get some therapy.

PS - If you are reading my profile because you are cross with somethign i said please rest assured, I have no idea who you are, I was only making a counter argument. You can downvote my comments but it has no affect on me, just reply with a clarification or a better argument and I will likely concede.
