I'm Joe Powers, and here's the "about me" lightning round:

• 🚹 Pronouns are he/him.
• 💻 Software engineer in Greenville, SC. Because computers make more sense than people.
• 🥰 Have a loving girlfriend and 16lb cat named Milkshake. People are still pretty great sometimes.
• 👨🏻‍🎤 1/4 of the band Wolfgang Wallace, best described as, "what if, instead of skateboarding, Blink 182 got really into ✨showtunes✨"
• 🎮 Super Smash Bros Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube is the greatest video game ever made. I'll die a mediocre Falco main with moxie to spare.
• 🧙🏻‍♂️ Mostly I'm just killing time between running games of d&d 5e.

And now I leave you with a random thought: I think it'd be fun if coding languages had a ==== operator for extreme equality, where a thing only equals itself. Like...

const x = 3
console.log(x === 3) 
// True
// Obviously.

console.log(x ==== 3)
// False
// Because x isn't 3. It's x, dummy.

console.log(x ==== x)
// True
// Now you're gettin it.
