Sooo, my company have opened up for volunteer redundancies, if anyone needs or is hiring for a senior dotnet/python/rust dev who's entire personality is "I like making cool things work", I'm open

Some of my highlight include

- I wrote the entire train driver licencing management system for all of Great Britain, on my own, in a few weeks, with a completely unfamiliar stack

- Successfully defended the aforementioned project directly to the cabinet office when they blocked it and allowed it to continue to be deployed

- Once built a 64 bit computer in vanilla Java Minecraft (no command blocks)

- Worked on nuclear, medical, and autonomous driving systems, cannot talk about this too much, but this does mean I can absolutely talk your ear off about the importance of strict vigilance in software engineering

Today is the annual #TransDayOfVisibility.

*waves at all the lovely trans people here*. I am delighted to share this space with you.

There is still so much more than we - cis people - can and must do to make the world safer and friendlier for trans people.

🎺 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

If a post doesn't apply to you, there is no need to tell the poster that it doesn't apply to you. No one cares. They aren't keeping a list of who it doesn't apply to.

If someone posts "Buckle up when you drive" and you don't drive... you don't need to reply.

If someone says "Bake the bread at 375f" and you don't bake... you don't need to reply.

Follow this simple rule and you can help make the Fedi a better place for everyone!

Thank you.
