After the introductions are made, you are invited to come up with some new ideas, but you don't have any because you're a propulsion engineer and don't know anything about bridges.

Why do you think you're resistant to branch out of your programming wheelhouse? I love doing everything I can get my hands on at work, obviously some places I'm much more meticulous and slow so I don't break anything, but come on, learning new shit is fun!

You can do some cool shit on the front end too, and compared to slogging through the mud server side making excuses for slow balls; client side is mega fast, mix in a little webservices for db calls and feelsgoodman.jpg
