never ask a woman her age a man his salary a rust developer how large their build directory is
number of voice agents I’ve seen in the past few hours at the hospital? 0 ngmi
the weekend is the perfect time to push a ton of breaking changes to the service. this ensures that everyone is really energized when they come in Monday.
