@maple so... i looked into this, and i couldn't find anything in python

but, if you're willing to come over to the dark side... they have cookies -

@maple no tbh, it's actually pretty terrible

@maple because secretly all python coders are terrible people and want to hurt everyone

but not me, i'm pure, innocent, cute, and wholesome

@behold3r tbh that sounds completely terrifying

there's that awkward moment when you realize that you don't have anyone with more experience to go to for their perspectives and wisdom on things because you tend to be on the older side of your social circle

tbh, i remember when i was on the other extreme, hahaha

@pbandkate this is me every time, especially when i'm working from home, lol

capitalism is a disease.

trying to explain to my brother that his identity and worth are more than what capitalism tells him it is.. it's a challenge

i used to be jealous of him because he's cishet and is an amazing guy. but, at the same time, i feel being trans has taught me a lot about life and living that i wouldn't have been able to learn without these experiences

undoubtedly, i still have a bad time because of who and what i am sometimes, but it's easier for me to understand some things

@seylerius i would say that it's web development

on one hand, you almost never need to flex and do the kind of stuff that counts as Real Programming to certain computer science elitists

on the other hand, having a deep understanding of things like big O notation, data structures, memory usage, and performance can be fused rewardingly with the art and science of crafting a pleasant user experience.

i still feel like web development is where you can impact a lot of lives in positive ways
