@charlag awesome, thanks for the update! everything is still a bit wonky, I just had some announcements to make

jyn

@fasterthanlime congrats on your transition from male to devops

Vivian

@jyn @fasterthanlime if your gender isn't tracked in Git are you even doing it right?

Wanja

@jyn @fasterthanlime My staging pronouns are they/them, production still runs he/him out of an abundance of caution.

Robin ╰(ಠ_ಠ✿)╯

@fasterthanlime ... oh gosh!
(congratulations! and congratudolances for the unfortunate-but-i-hope-it's-for-the-better thing)

Diego Augusto

@fasterthanlime also, not sure if here's the best place to ask but: I've read Rubicon's readme.md multiple times and I can't figure out what the benefits of using it are.

Super cool crate nonetheless 👍

laund

@fasterthanlime hah, well, that's certainly a lot at once. i'll read it, but this meme fits so well.

Kate Morley

@fasterthanlime Hold on, pronouns-over-DNS (POD?) are a thing now? I guess gender fluid people set a short TTL.

Adriaan

@fasterthanlime Is it my browser/JS/Ad blocking or did the bearsays thing break? I'm seeing {% sc bearsays %}

fasterthanlime 🌌

@adriaan It’s currently broken. I will get to it as soon as I have a couple hours to myself!

Niac

@fasterthanlime
Congrats on all of this!!

(also that bit about iel pronouns got me somewhere between enthusiastic nodding and "same hat!", hehe. they feel so different from them/them...)

For the line:
> [...] while some were betting on whether I was secretly a beautiful trans women, the truth was much more terrible still: I was a devops all along!
for some reason this part was really fun to read, but also: is the "women"(plural) part on purpose? were some folks also betting on plurality?

fasterthanlime 🌌

@niacdoial Plural is a typo for sure but there were suspicions too actually :hamster_dance:

Ted Mielczarek

@fasterthanlime phew, that's a lot of stuff! Sounds like you're doing what you need to do to be happy, though!

Geob-o-matic

@fasterthanlime can relate on the personal stuff, not a divorce but a break up after 14 years… on pills as well to cope and learning to live alone (first time in 45 years…)

owlet

@fasterthanlime hello, I'm a programmer newbie learning rust and trying to buildia project in it. While browsing through lobster, someone recommended your blog and I freaking love the content you've put on there.
So good to see you out here in the wild

rosa ⚬.⚬

@fasterthanlime well a friend owes me 10 bucks.
but in all seriousness, congrats on all that!

Alex

@fasterthanlime
Hey Amos! Very exciting news!
Immediately started listening to the podcast via my app of choice and I noticed that the RSS feed only include the little one sentence description of the episode, not the full show notes.
Can you look into that please?
Have a good rest of your week!
