Cool username ┏(^0^)┛

Thanks for the link.
finphil··on The best, and the worst, of the coronavirus dashboards
The title is a bit awkward IMO.
finphil··on The Tulsa Remote Worker Experiment
Good read!
finphil··on Amazon is expanding its cashierless Go model into a full-blown grocery store
I hear you, there's a slight dystopian feel to them.
finphil··on My productivity app for the past 12 years has been a single .txt file

Good points :) I guess the IBM / Red Hat situation was left out because the mapping focused on FAAMG companies.

finphil··on A man who was fired by a machine
He really ressembles Jaleel White (aka Steve Urkel) :-o
