That’s awesome to hear. I could tell you’d be a good hire. We do automation contracting. We do lots of logic programming and also have an IT / MSP side of the business (Azure/on-prem domain, email server, cloud, etc.). I’ve been trying out this new app I saw an ad for on the train, advertising for job placement, and started using it the other day.

If he's from NYC, he knows what NYC means. If he's not from there, it doesn't matter anyway

NYC is one of a number of world cities known by acronyms or nicknames:

Rio For Rio de Janeiro
HK For Hong Kong
TJ For Tijuana
KL For Kuala Lumpur
TO For Toronto
Joburg For Johannesburg

There's even a whole country that goes by its initials: UK.

So, stop thinking this is some American thing, it's just a way that people shorten the names of common cities that have a few too many syllables to be convenient.
