      It’s usually not rich rich money. But it’s also usually pretty good, yeah.

    It’s easy to get fame as a programmer: Just make a popular open source project and you’ll be surrounded by people angry at you for not doing enough upaid work on it.

      TIL:

      1. someone coined a name for my extremely specific kink
      2. it’s not even the text editor or IDE i like >:(

      you’d think this kink would make my dating life easy but I’m a lesbian and there’s still a giant gender gap in coding
      (╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻

        In the mid 10s, I worked as the engineering director for a consultancy. My boss would openly brag about being able to hire women for a fraction of the cost of a man. I was so offended by this that I created a partnership with a coding academy for at-risk and underrepresented individuals just a few blocks away from our office. I made it my mission to hire as many women junior engineers as I could, just so that I could train them up and find them better paying jobs elsewhere.

        Women engineers are out there, and I hope I’ve made the dating pool just a little bigger for you.

      yeah, I’m not sure I’d have believed this if my ex weren’t the same. Seeing me concentrated would turn her on and I’ve never understood it. I guess we can’t rationalize a fetish. She knew how to code too, though.
