#introduction time!

I'm Austin, a Senior Software Engineer at a #SaaS company that develops project and task scheduling #software. I mainly work on the #API and #backend using #Kotlin and #Springboot but occasionally stray into the #react #frontend. I used to do #fullstack development and am very familiar with #javascript, #java, and #angular / #angularJS.

In my spare time I enjoy #gamedev, #theater, #aviation (I'm a private pilot with my instrument rating), #compsci, #linuxmint, #blender, #learning, #astronomy, #physics, and #cats.

I'm a big advocate for #mentalhealth and education. I've been known to call people out on spreading bad information and grifting in bad faith.

There is a good chance I'll be posting cat picture, flying pictures, and random tidbits from various programming things I'm exploring. I'm also about to build an RV-10 airplane so there will be plenty of that. Drop by and say hello!

What difference (if any) is following someone versus subscribing to someone?

I'm a huge fan of being able to block entire domains on this site. Server that is hosting white supremacists? blocked. Server pushing conspiracies? blocked. Server trying to scam people with crypto currencies? blocked

Just came over from Twitter. The federated server thing is really interesting and I am interested to see where this goes.
