POV: You're a programmer
(lemmy.world)
Why is nobody commenting on the phone battery?
I'm a girl. I'm not interested in Haskell, that's too frigging endofunctiorific. Erlang! That's what all the cool guys are doing.
What about going an extra step into Elixir?
Hello everyone, and welcome to yet another recreational programming session with who?
Based Tsoding
Well, JSON is an easy format to parse. The spec can fit onto one page.
You gotta admit though, Haskell is crazy good for parsing and marshaling data
Yes. I'm divided into "hum... 100 lines is larger than I expected" and "what did he mean 'from scratch'? did he write the parser combinators? if so, 100 lines is crazy small!"
But I'm settling in believing 80 of those lines are verbose type declarations.
You could probably write a very basic parser combinator library, enough to parse JSON, in 100 lines of Haskell

Jokes on her, I've transitioned since last Christmas.
You can still bring a girl though
Mission failed successfully: I'm bringing my enby instead and you can't stop me.
Who needs a girl when you have monads to keep you warm?
Or become a girl with gonads
No mom, I'm gonna BE a girl for Christmas. puts on programming socks
That's 100% how I read it at first.
You just need to find a girl that also likes Tsoding! Then, you can ask her "Hey, do you have plans for Christmas? I'd love it if we could do AoC (Advent of Code) in a language we both hate!"

This kind of text hits differently when you're a lesbian.
Wouldn’t it hit the same as it would a straight male?
POV: Not all moms are accepting of their daughters being into girls.
There are far more male programmers... As a programmer, be gay or stay alone... Choose!
It's odd in the Australian public service, with COBOL programmers. They've been in the job long enough that they started when the public service was the only employer who would employ women as programmers. I'm on the systems analyst side of the fence, the programmers I have worked with include a bit more than 60% women
I think all the programmers I know are married or gay or not interested. I think the gay ones are mostly married too.
Can programmers only be with other programmers or am I missing something?
Well yeah, obv. But not enough girls in computer science, so like the fishes, some of them magically turn into girls after a while.
"JSON parser 100% from scratch in Haskell in 110 lines" doesn't get you horny? I guess some people are just wired differently.
I’m a programmer myself but my wife isn’t a programmer, that was my motivation for questioning.
Don't worry. I mean nothing but humour by it. I myself am married to a physicist who takes absolutely no interest whatsoever in programming, but can talk happily for ages about something weird they found.
Oh, is she, like, an EE or something? Maybe a web designer?

There are those who transition, so a significant chunk of that male programmer population is "male" as in quotation marks, only that some transition earlier than others. Does not guarantee that you can get the transgender autistic puppygirl (or other variations) of your dreams, since many of them are lesbians.
But also feel free to look outside your field for a partner. It's okay to date an artist as a programmer.
Feels weird reading this as the only single woman programmer in my friend group who likes men

I wouldn't trust a guy letting their battery go that low either
