Older Computer Programmers & Engineers
Lately, I was going through the blog of a math professor I took at a community college back when I was in high school.

So far I think “Uptown Funk”, “Blinding Lights”, and “Old Town Road”. That doesn’t mean I love those songs. It means I think they answer the question. I know you may love “Irony x3” by Zigbones. But they ain’t it....
