I've decided to clear up the ongoing confusion and rename the "New Atheists" the "Smug Atheists". Much more accurate and useful.

RT @rysiek So, let me re-phrase:
Government-run study, involving shortening the work week for government employees proves that productivity can be *gained* by shortening the work week.
Does business jump on that insight and clear opportunity to gain productivity *for free*, thus edging a competitive advantage on the market?
No. This happens only after unions get involved.
"Capitalism efficiently allocates resources" my arse.

In the upper portion there's a hand gently grasping an actual mouse. The bones are arranged like they should be, and above it is the green, straight arrow that says "Natural". (remote)

- Open sketchbook surrounded by some of the used art supplies. The page shows a portrait drawing of a young woman, head slightly turned left, looking away from the viewer. She seems tired and concerned, her grey blue eyes peering through her long fringe. Her shoulder length dark purple hair is messily cut. From below the collar of her cloak something black is growing upwards along the left side of her face. Behind her is a black contrasting square, a similar pattern as the black along her face is decorating the black square in silver. (remote)

Taking time off work to have a walk in the beach with your partner reduces GDP.

Hey, I am looking for software developer work. I am familiar with C, C++, Java, and many other languages, but I learn quickly, and can probably learn the language you use.
I'm fairly experienced in modeling relational databases, working with Qt, Sqlite, Postgres, and SQL Server, SDL, and SFML. My specialty is Linux but I can target just about any POSIX-compliant platform, or Windows, and I aim to write portable code.
I've worked on Plume, a Fediverse blogging platform, Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead, a roguelike game, sqlite_modern_cpp(a c++ abstraction wrapper for sqlite), MuaLu(A lua based muck engine), and more.
I've dabbled in assembly and lower level coding, and would not be adverse to picking it up to work.
I am based in the US, specifically Tulsa.
I am available for contract work or remote work, though I am currently caring for someone who is disabled so I have to be remote, or at least have minimal office days.
You can get in touch with me via DM or through email through VioletWhite@espeon.social
