    I’m sitting here pondering how it is that there’s so much overlap between coders and femininity. Is there a connection between the habits of coders and a desire for comfortable stockings? Am I just seeing a small sample size (due to this being Lemmy)?

    Or, perhaps, is it simply the spirit of our coding foremothers calling coders back to their ancestral roots?

    Either way, carry on, you lovely people. Rock those socks!

      sitting on your ass all day and typing isn’t exactly lifting bricks or hunting elephants

        I think it’s that with software everything is malleable and nothing is fixed. So it would appeal to someone who wants to change their environment or self.
