It means it's not automated :) And why not? It only happens during onboarding (and the revert for offboarding).

So, plenty of chances to make a typo or break the linter conventions. Is it your numeric email or first name/last initial; is it @gmail.com like the whole world or a different corporate one?

It's exciting because it speaks of things to come. Maybe they will see a living legend on campus.

It makes me think of skunkworks projects: the next day, your manager is on some team downstairs. Along with a couple of guys in the silo across the hall. And the guy who rolled his own distributed mutex pub-sub.

That's my outsider's perspective. I'd be giddy too.
