If I send you an anonymous question, it says I am a cute plushie. But other than cute, what kind of plushie I am?

A blåhaj of course~

Are you the only one at work who cares? Do you ever feel like just giving up?

I think others do care: those I review have praised or thanked me before for letting them learn some things about pitfalls of our web framework or potential performance issues, and if I say something is going to fail, I am generally trusted. But most of the time people just don't have enough experience or in-depth knowledge of the app to easily tell when something is likely to go wrong while reviewing code, or in the case of management, they just blindly trust junior devs and absolutely admit doing that. And nobody tests things enough.

I think that's just one of many issues of modern software development unfortunately. I discovered yesterday that my phone crashes when getting a call from a private number, so I can't answer the calls, and it came from an assumption that the number is always a valid number and you can get a country calling code every time, because a developer didn't think about every case and it wasn't tested enough. So it's not just in here…

What happened today at work? I hope it's not that bad :<

I had two weeks of time off, and other people worked while I was gone meaning the code was not always correctly reviewed. I could go back through all the code written in the last two weeks and find a whole bunch of bugs. I spent 3 hours in meetings, and 2 hours testing some tutorials to help someone prepare for a workshop, and clearly it won't go well lol. I didn't feel productive at all.

If you were an enemy in an rpg, what loot would you drop upon being defeated? Also are you a recurring enemy, one time encounter, or do you simply respawn?

0 to 5 notebooks, and a 10% chance of getting a blåhaj minion that bites enemies (especially powerful against those with the Transphobe trait) and can hug you to slowly heal you. I would probably be a one-time encounter, because one of me is already a lot for the world to handle lol

What's your favourite biblical story?

I know very little about the bible since my parents are not religious, I did not get much religious education, and do not get the concept of a religion enough to even consider learning about it, so I don't have a favorite at all

I'm thinking of getting a second tattoo. Where on my body should I put it? I already have one on my shoulder blade.

The opposite shoulder blade, or maybe arm?

What's something that recently happened to you that made you go "yamete kudaSTOP"?

Anytime anyone tries to request a new feature at work :P I don't really have some specific examples right now.

What's about massage? Have you ever had it, do you want to try?

Never had it, and it sounds less appealing and much scarier than trying to go to a cuddle café lol

What do you think about bicycles?

We need more of them, way more than cars. When I'm out walking, I'm so used to having to deal with idiots encased in glass and metal boxes and ignoring the outside world that having a cyclist talk to me to tell me to go ahead and cross the street, or being able to say "sorry" if I mess up, or being able to just read from their gestures where they are going, impresses me. More cyclists also usually means better street designs overall.

I do not cycle myself however. I haven't been taught to because my parents left most of my education up to the school. I have learnt to be terrified of most road vehicles, and being on the road (because safe cycling infrastructure is extremely rare) puts me way too close to them, so I'm not interested, and I don't need it anyway.

What's your opinion of red flags?

As soon as I feel like I might identify with anything that someone online says is a red flag, it's very efficient at fueling my negative inner voice, so I'm certainly not fond of those. Too many people on fedi identified being male as a red flag for example, which I can understand due to their circumstances, but that's part of what made me leave.

How do I speed up my learning in my free time? It took me more than a year to read a single maths textbook.

Maybe find practical applications for whatever you are learning? I have completely stopped learning purely for the sake of learning, and only learn when something will be of immediate use to me. But that's also because I have know for a long time that I really struggle with learning anything by heart, and can only really learn with practice.

What do you think about black metal?

I don't deal well with shrieking or screaming voices, or anything that sounds like the singer is hurting their vocal cords, and I can't handle loud noises for very long, so I don't really like it lol

Would you go to a cuddle café if there was one near you?

That would require a lot of mental preparation, but I might, because it would be one of the least unreachable ways of having any kind of IRL human contact, and maybe it would give me more experiences to refute the negative thoughts saying people will be disgusted by touching me.
