Late-Night Hotline: A Software Engineering Student and a Coincidence of Fate
2025-05-04
On her last night working a university hotline, a soon-to-graduate software engineering student, Cora, recounts a memorable call. Two years prior, she answered a call from an elderly gentleman who asked her to look up the birthdays of several celebrities. During the conversation, he deduced from Cora's birthday that she was better suited for a people-oriented career than software engineering. Cora admits this aligns with her long-held desire to help vulnerable people, though she currently needs a job. The story highlights the subtle connections and hints of fate behind seemingly random phone calls.
