Joining Parti

Starting today, I am working at Parti — it feels like a dream come true. You can find an introduction to Parti at the link. My first encounter with Parti was through a news article. Reading that piece, I found myself nodding along in complete agreement. At the time, though, I wasn't confident about what I could contribute, so I let the opportunity pass. Then the Park Geun-hye crisis broke out, and my life changed entirely. It felt as though everything I had been putting off had come back around, striking me in the form of a government power I could only describe as terrifying.

I told myself I had to do something — anything — and here I am. After a lot of trial and error over that period, I have far more will to live and to act than when I first read that article.

Parti''s GitHub organization is at parti-xyz.

Today was my first day working remotely. I spent most of it reading the tutorial docs in Quip and getting the local environment set up — a process that took much longer than expected. It wasn't until around 3 PM that I started reading through the GovCraft GitHub repo, and I hit a wall trying to clone it. Before I knew it, 6 PM had passed and the workday was officially over. The unsettling part? Even after 6, I didn't want to stop — I kept wanting to push through the installation. I had dinner, relaxed a bit, kept telling myself I'd get back to it, and went back and forth like that until now. The installation still isn't done, so here I am writing this post instead. Remote work is no joke. Ha.
