But the money is actually pretty good.

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

Quoting my self from this post’s anti-repost:

 Badly color-blind-friendlied:

I liked not knowing

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.

Don't give up looking for your person, there are people out there who like programmers a lot (NSFW)

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.

genuinely (and also ulterior-motive-ly) thank you 🥹🫡

[-] synapse3252@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Quite rad of you

You see, that's the problem! Only vim users get laid, it's even in the manual smh

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.

Finally made a dang Lemmy account after lurking for months just to comment on this… there are plenty of girls who would love to date a dev. I’m sick of guys talking down to me about tech when their tech knowledge consists solely of video games, Android phones, and graphics cards. If you’re gonna be a dick about it, please at least be smarter than me, jeez.

That's true — I put my technical skills on my Tinder profile, but it doesn't give me any more matches
