My mom took a PHP class with me in college, and she did some database admin stuff after that, but I think the last time I saw her she couldn’t remember what company I was working for or what I was doing.

It was definitely easiest to explain when I worked for Groupon. The funny thing is she would actually email me about Groupons for things she thought I needed… I bought a blender and a vacuum cleaner by her recommendation.

My wife tells people she doesn’t know what I do aside from make money…
