“Okay, 1, please knock next time. 2, this is not
the reason I’m in Temporal, it’s just, like, a perk? And 3, this
isn’t –”
“Look, it’s fine, Dev, you do y…yyour own thing, I’ll absolutely

“No, listen, this isn’t some sort of smug intellectual
nobody-else-is-my-equal whatever garbage. Look, I know sometimes I can
get a little up my ow— sometimes I can get a little stuck
up about grades and projects and stuff, but I’m trying to
be better about that, and that’s not what this is about! Like,
I spent 5 years thinking I was just asexual, and honestly, not sure this
doesn’t still count? I’ve never felt sexually attracted to anyone else,
but a few months ago I was hanging out by myself, felt like
experimenting a little, and I ended up really liking it. So it just
became something I do now and then, but like, it’s not an ego
trip thing, okay?”
