Hi everyone! I'm brand new to the fediverse, but really happy I finally got around to joining.
I'll describe myself as a husband & father first, but after that as a geek w/ 20y of software development behind me and at least 20 more in ahead. I live in snowy Helsinki.
I'm of course interested in FOSS, but also #degrowth , #philosophy , #climatecrisis , #smalltechnology but most importantly endlessly curious about the world and people in general. :)
@ttiurani welcome ❤️ don't forget to get yourself an avatar.
What language do you use for software development?
@resynth1943 I have used a ton of languages, but right now hoping to make #rustlang my main language. I'm just but not very good at it yet, but learning pretty fast. But also typescript, scala, java, python, c, swift, kotlin. :)
@ttiurani well, my main advice would be to take your time. Try not to go learning different languages too quickly, and don't rush yourself into it.
Remember: a language is only as good as the programmer 😛 I only know a bit of webdev and JS / TS, and it's taken me quite far.
@ttiurani Welcome to our wonderful community, hopefully you'll enjoy your stay :)

Hi and a warm welcome from Munich, Germany!
@ttiurani Welcome to Mastodon. Enjoy!
@ttiurani Hei! Millaista filosofiaa teet?
@jonne Väitöskirjasuunnitelmani oli teknologian filosofian ja mediafilosofian välimaastossa mutta en päässyt kovin pitkälle sen kanssa (rahoitusrumba on hirveää ja työelämä vei). Nyt vähän pohdin saisinko siirrettyä sitä degrowth-suuntaan ja aloitettua uudelleen. Oletko itse filosofian kanssa tekemisissä?
@ttiurani Törmäsit varmaan siihen yleisimpään seinään. Kuulostaa mielenkiintoiselta, mikä aihe tarkemmin oli?
Siirryin pelitutkijaksi maisterin tutkinnon jälkeen ja tein väitöskirjan, jossa sovelsin filosofista hermeneutiikkaa pelitutkimukseen.
@ttiurani Hyvää Hi and welcome ;) I hope you'll have a nice time here :) this is a very nice little community :) When you get a chance to make some kind of avatar so that people can keep you apart from others :)
