A Senior Developer working mostly with PHP and JavaScript, with a bit of Python thrown in for good measure, all on Linux. My tooling is simple, it's GitLab and JetBrains where possible.
I'm a boy who likes black and blue. Always have. I like them because they are dark and plain. They are about the only colours which suit me properly.
I've never been ashamed of it. Never tried to hide it. And never wanted to change to fit in. I don't see why I should.
I let my work speak for itself and don't let any potential criticism of stereotyping by my choices get in my way. I'd also not let it be a barrier to my team being happy. That said, I'm senior enough to do something about it in my company if that did happen
Did a career switch from software developer to ethical hacker! Going to write about cyber security and my experiences as a woman in tech. Suomeksi: dev.to/minjakoodaa
Yes I agree! Unfortunately girly colors (and being girly/feminine) can still be seen as something that's not serious. But when more and more people of any gender keep wearing and liking what ever colors they happen to like, maybe these stupid stereotypes could be faded eventually!
