Hyia!

I didn't find a space for us nerdy trans people on blahaj.zone, so I thought I might aswell create one and see who shows up :)

This place is not associated with r/transprogrammer, seams they have not made any moves to lemmy, and I didn't expect them to.

Feel free to post anything Programming or Trans related, doesn't need to be both, show off your Projects!, introduce yourself, or just banter about life as a trans programmer.

As for personal introductions,

Im Xea, trans girly with a love for C, gas asm and generally everything OS devy / low level, I work for a legacy software company, where it seams whether or not Im valid is a political question and not a question of basic human decency, enough crying.

Thanks for reading! <3

ps: if anybody has any better ideas for the community picture, they would be much appreciated, while the rustacean is cute <333, Its not that general to programming, heck I have never touched rust :,)

I'm a nonbinary techie who has a certificate in cybersecurity, HTML, and CSS, and an Associate's Degree in networking (and is still in college going for another IT bachelor's degree), and I've been doing technology projects for over a decade. I'm also in the video game modding community, and I also make virtual instruments, electronic music, and do digital art (including 3D printed art, which I've been doing since I was 11. I'm 21 now.) My career goal is to be a technical writer. I've used Linux for 10 years, and I've known how to work a VM since 2011. I've also dabbled in typography and animation. I put effort into my projects, often spending years on them. I even have made plans and libre blobs for ASICs I want to get manufactured. I consider myself a techie of all trades.

Tessa checking in! I do hardware design for one venture (which involves embedded C for firmware), and I use golang in another venture where I am designing a distributed system. I have to stay a little vague on all that, for reasons. I’m not new to programming, but I’m very new to the trans community, so it’s nice to meet all of you :3. Xea is a beautiful name by the way!

Hyia Tessa! <3

ooo, that sounds amazing!, I envy that!, I always wanted to go more down into hardware level, correct me please, with a distributed system you mean, an embedded OS, which you deploy in a cluster which shares its resources?, sad that you can't say much, sounds rly interesting!

sorry if that is a silly question, your egg has just recently cracked? :P

tysm cutie! you don't know how much I appreciate that <333, its a relatively new name but the second it came into my mind I couldn't let it go anymore ^^, Tessa is a really wonderful name too btw!
