Friend: What do you do?
Me: I'm a developer and work in the IT industry. I create apps.
Friend: Lovely. What do you create?
Me: Technical debt.

I'm not well-liked because no one understands what I'm saying. Would anyone be willing to be my friend for a little while? 😅 😂

@nixCraft i'm in 😁

@nixCraft I like you nixCraft

@nixCraft I don't understand.

@nixCraft I realised I joined Mastodon and selected your account. But I've watched your YouTube content... Branding works 😂

@nixCraft only if you fall down the Vtuber & Anime rabbit hole

@nixCraft Sure. How are you? What are you working on?

@nixCraft I'm in the same boat ever since I remember! So I think I understand you more than those who call themselves "normal".

@nixCraft
Friend: Oh, sounds cool
Me: *small tear rolling down my cheek*

I like callin it "#Hopper|ist Employment Guarantee"...

@nixCraft for me, these conversations normally stop at:

Me: I’m a developer and…
Friend: oh sweet so like can you make this [really bad business idea] into an app for me?

@nixCraft either the conversation and friendship both ended, or both fell on the floor rolling and laughing...
there is no spectrum. 😛

@nixCraft mostly they reply with "can you fix my printer"
