I miss being female on the Internet.
You feel it, too? 😅 Feel like a dude, on here. Apparently, I now also sound like a dude, and all I talk about is software development and Bitcoin and I totally bore myself with it. Those are actually two topics I'm not particularly interested in.
It's like when I worked in automotive and we constantly talked about cars, but I don't even own a car and don't care to.
Yeah, my goodness, Silberengel has been boring me to death, lately.
I'm good at so many things that I end up getting stuck doing stuff I'm not really interested in. You can put me in any intellectual occupation and I'll do a good-enough job, but I'll probably be really bored.
I have other roles at nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz , that fit me much better and that I find more enjoyable, but I've been neglecting them to code the GUI. Hoping to finally extricate myself from that and focus on stuff like fundraising and test automation. This is the thing. If I'm doing A, then I'm not doing B. Well, what was B, again? Everyone forgets that B even exists. B is often more productive or lucrative than A, but it's not #StuffDudesLike, so it just falls by the wayside.
I found some boys, thankfully. 🥰 I can finally do requirements engineering and stuff. 🚀
Well, I need the software we're building to do the things I actually want to do, so I have to just help build or it would never get done. This is the thing I need more software developers, so that I can go back to writing about philosophy and economics.

What are you interested in?
Silberengel @Silberengel - 2mo
Economics and philosophy and sociology, mostly.
Sociology? What aspects?
Marriage, dating, fertility, education, mostly.
I used to only write about stuff like that, on Twitter. Nobody knew I was a developer.
Fan of Ziehan?
Don't know them.

here is an anecdote that supports the hypothesis that hormones affect whether the kind of cognition needed for programming programming is zooming in, PM, philosophy, marketing, these are all zoomed out architecture is an example of something that requires both cognitive styles, that's why most young devs can vomit code but can't architect their way out of a wet paper bag
Yeah, I like systems-level stuff like requirements engineering and testing. Business case level, not tech spec level. I can do both, tho.
i think it's just folly to ignore the fact that hormones alter what parts and functions of the brain are favored by this part of our make-up... women have to watch babies and children, men have to watch targets and tools... so we are better at zooming in and holding our focus, and you are better at eyes-wide, guarding, assessing the quality of workmanship and deciding where the toilet and bathroom and kitchen should be relative to the dining room just as a few examples as you know, very often people have a bit of the skills from the opposite pole but it's rare i did a gender-cognition test years back that determined that i was 50% like an average woman in my cognitive ability... that's also why i have been able to get quite good at assessing architecture and protocols, these are more "eyes wide" processes in this business
Well, it's a sprawling enterprise system. We have C++, Typescript, and PHP in production. Some of the Typescript is being exchanged for C++ and Rust, and the PHP will be traded in for Python, probably.
Watcha got, sir?
i swear #golang is like the Uncarved Block of tech everyone ignores it because they can't turn it into furniture, but it's oh so comfortable to rest under the shade of its living foliage
