They seem to do some cool stuff.

They have also declined every one of <Ciro Santilli>'s applications for software engineer jobs before any interview. Ciro always wondered what does it take to get an interview with them. Lilely a <PhD>? Oh well.

In the early days at least lots of gamedev experience was enough though: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-beattie-0695373/[].

Two ways to see it:
* a <ring (mathematics)> where <inverses> exist
* a <field (mathematics)> where multiplication is not necessarily <commutative>


Division ring

If we didn't have <GUIs>, <terminal multiplexers> would be our <desktop environments>. E.g. they handle stuff like:
* window switching
* copy pasting across windows
* screen locking
* clock on the status bar (same one that holds tabs)
It is a thing of beauty.
