If you are in a position to approve equipment purchases. Please do not deny a request for a USB-C cable that is required to connect to a target device and direct them to purchase it out of pocket.

Coding is in my soul. Work for a #NonProfit doing #NonProfitTech. I am a #DevManager to a close knit team with a mix of #SQLServer, #DotNet, #CraftCMS, #ReactJS.
#WeekendProjects have me happily tinkering with a #MastodonStarterKit and #IndieWeb concepts.
👀 Grew up closeted #LGBTQIA in the 1980s rural south which certainly affected my perspective.
🏳️🌈 Married for 21 years.
🎵 #GenX, #Introvert, #Music lover.
🐶 Over-involved #DogDad.
✌️ #Kindness in all things.
Probably worth doing a #followbackFriday for my first week on here. #Politics #runningpunks #DevManager #music #goodopinions #twittermigrator
