I just started a new job this week I’m super pumped about at Commonwealth Fusion Systems! The first day was a whirlwind of learning new things and asking all the questions just like it has been every other time I’ve started a new job. But this time was a little different, and not just because this is the first time in 5 years I’m going back into an office. This time the questions involved things you totally deal with every day like superconducting magnets, cryogenic temperatures, supercritical helium, and 50,000 amp currents. Luckily I don’t have to fully understand all those things to do my job but it’s always good to understand where you fit in at a new job and how the whole process works at a high level.

Coming at you here with another Cat Search update! Since last time the new design has been implemented (see below), authentication is mostly done (still need to send emails), and many bugs have been squashed <span class="inline-block cursor-crosshair hover:rotate-180 transition-all duration-300">🪳</span>.

I’ve started a new project new this week with the dream of solving one of my own problems, and with any luck, will help a bunch of other people with the same problem along the way.
