A human would assume if you said “Portland” they would first assume you meant PDX unless they looked up your address and then they would assume Maine.

Just like if I said I wanted to fly to Albany, they would think I meant New York and not my parents city in south GA (ABY) which only has three commercial flights a day.

Even with a human agent, you ask for confirmation.

Also, I ask to speak to people on the ground - in this case it would be CSRs - to break it.

That’s another reason I think “side projects” are useless and they don’t have any merit on resumes. I want them to talk about real world implementations.
