I have worked in tech for about sixteen years, mostly programming, tools and automation. That is not the same job as reviewing gadgets, and I would rather say so than pretend otherwise. What it does give me is the habit of reading the documentation instead of the box, and enough time spent measuring things to tell when a number has been measured and when it has been chosen.

Being the tech person in the family is also why people keep asking me what to buy. I was answering the same question three times a year for three different people, so I started writing the answers down instead.

I buy what I write about with my own money, in the United States, and I live with it long past the week when everything still feels new. The cheapest laptop I ever bought cost me the most, because I replaced it inside two years.
