#Australia has a broader #programming #community in a pretty unfortunate state. Especially in the #free and #opensource  subsect. From what is listed publically: jobs, communities, foundations, lobby groups; it's largely non-progressive. It makes me understand why none of the cool conferences come here, let alone even list our country as a consideration. Will update ya as i figure out as much as i can about the state of things and *why* over the rest of the year.

@floralvikings relatableeee, it's been like a month for me unfortunately 😵‍💫 and I blew an opportunity just by bringing up how the role (nation-wide; senior engineer) had no support/team and was hopeful for a possibility of that  aka "showed lack of enthusiasm"

@ljrk @drakulix That is so wild! it's like Tobuscus too~ it's so odd.

I think it shows diverse irl communities are fizzling out more and more sadly :(

@ljrk @drakulix omg i remember getting caught so off guard because i remembered lunduke so fondly that i jus blindly followed an RSS feed and only later was like this ain't the same.

@kojack the manifesto sounds so great!! :3 thanks for recommending!

I'm def weaker in the game dev department, because unfortunately my professional skills are in software dev on web, mobile and desktop (which is only rarely through game engines). But i'm sure that's fine-ish and also i do still have interest in game dev too--it's just a matter of the cruel world/job market making space for me to actually do it. Like i keep forgetting Blender skills because how much time passes between use :(
