@cwebber The last three paragraphs of this article are very important.
As I write this, I am in a hotel bed, in the middle of the country, on day two of a 1200 mile move from a "do not travel" state to a "blue state" (on Erin's map).
Existing (openly) as anything other than cis-gender in so much of America is too big of a threat to personal safety.
I just hope that the safety that "blue" states provide doesn't collapse on us.
I’m an amateur lisper, mostly #Guile and #EmacsLisp, but if someone wants to team up for this #GameJam, I’d be interested!
I also do some basic art, game design, sound, and music. I wouldn’t want to be the sole programmer for this jam but could definitely contribute there and would love to learn more #Lisp.
The hardest part about preparing for a new job is deciding what language I should be practicing. I wrote C# for the past two years, but I don’t exactly want to stay with it.
Web jobs are abundant, so do I focus on the latest Javascript?
Do I brush up on C and revisit Rust, to go back systems programming, like before I got hired to do web dev work?
Or, do I follow my heart and actually become a fully competent functional programmer in Guile and/or Elixir?
Question for other engineers –how much do you search for a specific language/technology when job searching?
