    I’m proud of my demon spawn

    She’s a tech savvy electrical engineer who spends her working hours mucking about with semiconductors.

    When she’s not at work, which seems to be pretty much all day every day, she’s out on remote hiking trails with primitive camping gear.

    From this old man’s perspective, she’s living the ideal balanced life.

      Computer engineer here. I’m similar, spend a lot of my time mucking w/ semiconductors & such at work - I wouldn’t quite say CompEs and EEs are “tech bros” though. Tech savvy? Sure! But tech bros I like to think are the people who are more interested in monetizing tech than actually knowing how to use it.

      That said, I most certainly consider myself a demon spawn.

        Yep. As much as I know, those of us with the know how aren’t actually doing these shitty things, it’s always someone else who takes a sledgehammer to a screw.
