I tend to separate work and home by the type of beverage I drink. At work it’s coffee and at home tea. But recently I’d been trying the idea of having a coffee machine at home.

Not posted anything here in a while figured I probably should.

So, I applied for a job as a lead c# .net developer working on a modern technology stack. I was told that there was a legacy product but the aim of the job was to help sunset the old technology (that was being looked after by a bunch of contractors and off-shorers) by coding in the new.

Also getting quality objects out of it was difficult the retained heat proved to be a problem in that objects would stay hot enough to be flexible far longer than with ABS and thus deform while building.
