Genuine question: What does "PEI" mean?

A quick Google search is turning up "Prince Edward Island". Is Prince Edward Island known for being a place with a lot of remote tech workers? (Like, this doesn't _sound_ right, but I know next to nothing about Prince Edward Island :) )

Prince Edward Island sounds a _great_ place to work from home!

No, PEI does not have a lot of remote workers. AFAIK the main provider of tech jobs there is government in various forms, and they mandate several in-office days per week.

It's just a place that is geographically disconnected from the mainland, and it rhymes.
