I just paid off my student loan and my credit score decreased 15 points due to that (it’s now ~750 and could be even lower next months).

- What’s some cool shit to work on? Right now I work on some airplane stuff and it’s pretty cool seeing it all being used together. The work itself is meh and sorta boring though. I looked at rivian and that seems pretty cool but I can’t move to Irvine yet until next year. Other things that sound cool is working with DNA to predict h
