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.


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 comprises many queer programmers.
mhmm! It’s awesome, and not only like open-minded/queer but a lil anti-establisment too, they had the usual ideas and discourse common in the open source space, also yea being queer myself too, I can’t help but notice tech it really open to differences like that, another reason to like it!
