Hi. I'm that kind of furry trash that will play ALMOST ANY RACE just to avoid playing a human, and fantasy games in which human is the only option appeal to me far less than games where there's actually some variety.

crushbot. you register your crushes with it via DMs, and if there's ever a mutual crush it notifies both parties via DM. Instance admins would run them, and they would automatically federate crushes to the crushee's instance's local crushbot via DMs.

A reminder of how we got here:

http://gender.stanford.edu/news/2011/researcher-reveals-how-%E2%80%9Ccomputer-geeks%E2%80%9D-replaced-%E2%80%9Ccomputergirls%E2%80%9D

Echos of personality profiles selecting for "disinterest in people" are heard in former Googler's memo citing women's "stronger interest in people" as justification for lack of representation in tech.

Along the same lines, making programming instruction contingent on maths amounts to a "fake geek girl" test. If you didn't become a "software engineer" by way of college-level calculus, you have no right to be here.

Part of why I want to get into software verification is that I think software SHOULD be verified and proven it's safe! Too much stuff is released with incredibly dangerous bugs!

@beadsland @LottieVixen that's why I say I'm a programmer, rather than software engineer: even though a lot of programming stuff *should* be done with regulations and liability, it's often not!
