Heyy, I’m learning programming and trying to choose a focus, I saw you can make web/backend w node, desktop (bloatware but discord uses it so if it works it works), games (not AAA and not optimized for performance but it shouldn’t matter for indie too much) Is there anything that compares? I wanna focus on one thing instead of spreading myself over a ton of languages, I do feel js is interesting for this, but I’m just starting out, so looking to hear some thoughts of people more familiar with programming.


Yes, there are some to choose from. Though if you want to make games you probably want to use Godot instead. It’s language, gdscript, is like python
Oh I know godot, I met the guy who made it… on grindr of all places haha
…wut
Yeah i won’t go a ton into detail, but he (i wont say which one out of the 2 main guys) had an interesting relationship with his girlfriend at the time, so he threw some cash my way for me to do her in front of him. It wasn’t like too weird or like the cuck thing, they were just really a horny couple and w me being a cute young short guy on a girl cosplay… Well seems they love having fun haha. They were super respectful and we had lunch together watching rick and morty before getting it on. Also they love playing the stock market, this godot guy told me he over estimates consulting jobs for big companies (2 weeks for a thing that takes him like 3-4 days) and then he spends the rest of the time playing with stocks, he tried to explain it to me but it was super complicated for my small brain. TLDR: godot guys are chill af
It’s plausible, I suppose, that one of the people involved in the governance of Godot could have paid you for sex.
That said, I don’t take hearsay or gossip at its word. Since it would be inappropriate for you to provide proof, I will default to not believing you. I am not accusing you of lying, though.
I’ll try to figure it out, for fun. It’s either Juan Linietsky or Ariel Manzur.
I can’t find any evidence of Juan Linietsky or Ariel Manzur being involved in stock consultation. But there is some evidence of Linietsky being involved in ‘tech consultation’, so you’re likely referring to him.
Slay.👍
It’s just a fun fact, not something for defamation, to win internet clout or anything like that (that’s why I don’t wanna get into too much detail) Also I don’t think the guy i met did consultation regarding stocks, he did consultation with his like programming skills and stuff, the stock thing is just something he showed me he and his gf liked doing for fun on the side (can’t remember but might’ve been related to something like daytrading more than a long term 10-15 year set and forget investment) But just to reiterate, great people at least from the little time i hanged out with them they seemed super chill.
I assumed you had good intentions, yes. I’m just not going to take you at your word out of principle. I won’t believe that a person paid for sex without proof. I don’t assume you’re lying, but I’m not confident enough in your verity to assume you are telling the truth, either.
I’ll take your word at that. If they are good people, you could probably befriend them if they still live in the same region as you. At least, I assume they did, unless you used Grindr while traveling or met them at a hotel.
Same country, but yea you shouldn’t believe me at all without proof, not implying you should either, but yeah are dope people, loved the way he talked about doing consulting, “eh, listen here, a job is just a means to an end, so you gotta try and work as little as possible, I do have a private office space I rent that I go to a few times a week, but I try not to if I can help it, and with big companies you always overbill when it comes to time, they don’t really know how much time anything takes anyways smirk, and then I get time back to do whatever I feel like actually working on.” And his gf at the time (a trans girl) was also wicked smart, oh, they also liked going to vegas every so often (I don’t even know if they are still together tho, its been a long time and I didn’t keep in touch at all)
Getting to hang out with queer programmers does sound like a good experience. I am biased, being a queer programmer whose friend group conprises many queer programmers.
