may I ask, how has it been working at Discord? I heard stuff through the grapevine, but not directly from anyone!
yโknow, itโs a job. you have a job for 5 years and it literally is just, like, yeah, a job. i like what we make, i think itโs genuinely important for the future of the internet to have more spaces that are unbranded and porn friendly and private by default, i like helping people make bots, itโs good, i run our disabilities employee group which is cool too. but itโs a job. idk. weโre good at being not shitty to trans folks, i get to have a fun little mental health space, and we make something i like. so. not bad.
I'm glad that they're good to trans folks anyways! Sorry about job being job kinda stuff. Has work-life balance / hours been okay?
Oh Nice! I was a little trepidous about this at first, but i am hyped for it now!
i'll admit this is a change i kinda took with a bit of abrasion when i first saw it, but... i guess it's worth taking a chance, considering the points made. ^^
Iโm gonna be sad to lose my randomly assigned cool number but this seems like a good choice.
Solution: when you're called on to choose a username, put your number into it
Thought I would hate this change but it is a genuinely good compromise! Good job on your work and I am gonna try to snag a cool username whenever possible.
