Can someone tell me where all the trans FOSS devs/enthusiasts hang out IRL, I need friends ๐ฅบ
~Signed, a lonely trans FOSS enthusiast (not a programmer sadly, maybe I just need thigh high socks...)
Highly recommend picking up programming.
Many communities are very welcoming.
Worse case scenario, you end up loving programming and making it in a career and making a lot of money.
Best case scenario, you contribute to open source.
I am too dumb brain for programming :(
I've tried a few times in the past to get into it but I just get overwhelmed. I'm frankly amazed by and so thankful for all the programmers who contribute to all of the great libre software I use. I am stuck at the level of knowing more about computers than essentially everyone I know or encounter, while simultaneously being a complete and utter noob to anyone who actually understands computing. I just know how to use search engines and follow instructions written by people smarter than me.
99% of being a programmer is knowing what to Google, so you're halfway there.
