Don't give up looking for your person, there are people out there who like programmers a lot (NSFW)

TIL:

someone coined a name for my extremely specific kink
it's not even the text editor or IDE i like >:(

you'd think this kink would make my dating life easy but I'm a lesbian and there's still a giant gender gap in coding
(╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻

In the mid 10s, I worked as the engineering director for a consultancy. My boss would openly brag about being able to hire women for a fraction of the cost of a man. I was so offended by this that I created a partnership with a coding academy for at-risk and underrepresented individuals just a few blocks away from our office. I made it my mission to hire as many women junior engineers as I could, just so that I could train them up and find them better paying jobs elsewhere.

Women engineers are out there, and I hope I've made the dating pool just a little bigger for you.
