Funny that the pride flag is on the left when the most impressive Linux devs I’ve ever met all did their best work while caged and plugged in thigh highs but… Whatever
I mean, most impressive devs might be a stretch, but if you hang out at any alternative hacker / Linux event… Let’s say I have felt like the most conservative and straight dude in the room on more than one occasion
To be fair, “that I ever met” is doing some lifting there. Kinky trans&nb programmers are a minority of a minority of a minority. But a few of the best programmers I’ve met over my years while doing low-level C and C++ systems work just happened to be in that demographic… And wow: they were REALLY good at what they did. One was the kind of person who earned the right to wear a clip-on fluffy tail to the office, and no one would talk shit about. Different times, different places, but they were all the kind of people who would make competent management sweat about the low bus factor.
The company I keep tends to be quite private, but there’s no shortage of “it” pronouned puppygirls doing significant work in Linux spaces; god bless them. Nix has a lot for some reason… Also cybersec communities.

Name me one, please.
No meant as a transphobic remark, to clarify. Just curiosity.

That’s the kind of person I wanna be. Those are the goals.
