Non tech background here. I work in a steel mill and see social media as entertainment. A time killer.
Dope, steel mills always seemed like a cool place to work. The large mechanical machines everywhere and the way that Liquid Metal pours is always cool AF.
Personally, it sounds like quite a warm environment
Iβm sure it is hot, but at the same time as a sysadmin that has former railroad work under their belt I always loved the physical labor. Itβs gross, but it just felt like I did something. Plus someone has to work in those places and do those jobs. I might be a sweaty mess once it hits 70, so I appreciate anyone that does the work! πͺπΌ
The conditions are less than ideal, but itβs interesting to watch.
