I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.

    My guess: Machines for semiconductor fab. Given the time of day, I’d wager ASML, cause there’s not much else happening in that branche in Europe.

      Nothing near that impressive. I don’t make the fancy sand, I just move electrons around with fancy sand that someone else made, aka programming.

      “AZ” in the username meaning they might work at one of the fabs in Phoenix

        Nah, there’s no real meaning to my username. It’s just some random letters that are vaguely pronounceable.

      I would’ve assumed just a programming job/hobby. The programming is the organizing of the electrons and the semiconductor fab is the organizer of the fancy sand?
