First time here?
Just teasing - but there's a pretty large overlap of skilled FOSS developers and anime afficionatos (and also LGBT). It's a pretty common joke that if an exploit drops with an anime girl on the video / account - you know it's about to get bad.
Looking at the blog, this is a common theme with them: every article starts with a shot from some anime. Their GH PFP matches: https://github.com/16bit-ykiko
Hard to say why - maybe that's what they're watching when they made the article or did the work or something? Maybe they just like it. Maybe they're degens. People can be enigmatic sometimes. Well... okay, they're a C++ developer, they're definitely a degen.
Anyway, the first few times may catch you off guard, and sometimes it goes too far, but you learn to tune it out pretty fast. It's harmless and I'm glad they're enjoying themselves.
>they're a C++ developer, they're definitely a degen.
Can you explain this? Is "degen" being used here in the sense of being so avid about C++ that it borders on degeneracy?
It doesn't strike me as definitely harmless.
