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 :,)

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!

You’ve kinda merged the projects together haha. On the hardware side I do bare metal C programming on STM32 micros. On the Golang side, I’m architecting a distributed system that will run on very large servers (think 100s of cores, TB of RAM). Normally you wouldn’t roll your own system, you’d get something existing. But there’s so much legacy software involved that nothing out of the box has ever really worked. Just means more fun for me :3

And yes, you are correct about my egg. In fact, you all are really the only people that know. You are the first to ever call me Tessa. I’m somewhat in the confusion phase at the moment. I am I transfem, non binary, fluid? Don’t know 100%, but I’m not rushing it. One step at a time will get me there <3

(ok NOW I got this in the right spot)
