I have met one trans developer in the last 35 plus years, and I have worked at a lot of different places. I am based in the Midwestern US.
Is this more a European thing?
I was wondering what on earth the programmer socks memes were about. I guess there must be enough people somewhere to make this meme-worthy.
I came back here to say "It says right on their home page that it's open source." :-) I installed it & I'm running the importer now to see how well it handles large numbers of notes. Thanks much for the tip!
That is the one that I edited. You don't see the same thing I do? (Thanks again for following up, by the way!)
I edited my post - thank you!
Good point.
No but you got the city right. 🙂
Titties is spelled with two t's.
I have a similar experience, but even with people in southern Ohio and Kentucky (where a lot of my current co-workers are), there is the opposite of a conservative tech-bro trend.
Where are you? My experience has been that most developers are obsessed with programming and politically liberal. I'm in the midwest, though, so maybe things are not so rosy on the west coast. It could also just be one person's experience, but I have worked at a lot of different places in the last 35 years.
I thought that Western style Democratic republics were leading the world toward purely secular forms of government, but yet another group of sociopaths has managed to take power. They have distracted the science-illiterate majority into petty conflicts based on different versions of magical thinking.
So, "sane" would mean that we don't elevate the least sane among us (sociopaths) into positions of power. "Rational" would mean that public policy decisions are mostly made based on evidence, rather than fundamentally irrational belief systems.
I fear that we are barely-sentient primates doomed to repeat the same awful mistakes, when simple, obvious solutions are within our grasp.
That we can build a sane, rational society.
I have found the opposite in rural Michigan (northern US). My wife's family has a vacation home, and skilled tradespeople are slightly cheaper around there. The place is more than an hour from any large towns, but 30 minutes from several small towns.
Maybe population is distributed differently here due to the way infrastructure is funded?
