Reflecting on something that I can only describe as an 'epaulet of spirit.'
Maybe 3 years ago, when I first started at Linode, there was this one guy on the customer support team who was well known for being a goofy guy. Had emojis of him, the whole 9. One day, in the general chat, he said something to the effect of "we should hang out more, you always say the dopest shit."
As a kid who was told he would never write anything of value, that was the best compliment I have ever received.
