 I 🧡 how nobody on nostr seemed to know i built stuff until the recent guy swann podcast. There is another forum where everyone is flipping out cuz they thought i was a guy 😂😂😂

 People were claiming I'm a dude or a bot for the longest time. 😂 
 I thought you were Pablo 
 😂 
 I think most people still don't know I build stuff. 🤷‍♀️ 
 what are you building these days?  
 I'm the Business Analyst for @GitCitadel and I do lots of testing.

But I have a pet project:
https://gitworkshop.dev/r/naddr1qqxx2sn0da442arfd35hg7gpz4mhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2un9d3shjtnrdaksyg8ayz8w3j8jsduq492j39hysg7vnhrtl4zzqcugj4m3q62qlkf8cypsgqqqw7vs555whg 
 It's a work in progress. Taking a 2-week break.

I tend to do test automation, ORMs, RDBs, and utilities. Nothing with a fancy GUI. So, nothing end users see. 
 @Michael J is trying to coax me out of my hole, to do more client work. We'll see. Test automation will soon start eating into my time. 
 The test automation will be more valuable in the long run, tbh.  Test automation is underrated. 
 Also just way easier to find devs than automators, and testing fits better to the BA role because I"m supposed to understand the program logic. 
 Imagine if all business analysts could read and test code.  What a world that would be.

I think the label "analyst" is often attached to a role title as code for "we don't really know what this role is for." 
 😂 You would think that would be standard. Can't analyze something you don't understand.

That'd be like a financial analyst not understanding bookeeping. 
 You mean like most account managers? 

I have friends that work for Vanguard. 🤮 

They couldn't keep a company's books.  
 Yeah, that's what happens when focus on credentials over professional experience. 
 I actually have a dev npub @Silberengel  
 I’ve known though 
 Little known fact: Women can code and build cool shit
Minds across the nostrverse are exploding 
 one of the first coders was Klara Dan von Neumann  
 And Admiral Grace Hopper  
 Hivetalk is what I’m aware of. 
 Karnage responding to my post with odd and delayed note because he has me muted, as per usual. 
 Been doing plenty of other lightning stuff the last 3yrs on github. :) 
 She's a big contributor for LNBits too ! 
 Love LNBITS! 
 Most assume I am one too until they meet me 😂 
 The BitKarrot?? The one who cracked the IRS D-Base?
