Dear parents in tech, Have you ever felt different from the other parents because you work in tech? (I know this is a pretty open question. Shoot whatever your thoughts are!)

@misprintedtype@front-end.social I’m tech adjacent in podcast editing (of tech podcasts) and I feel like a weirdo most of the time when I have to answer what I do for a living. More so when they ask if they’d recognize any podcasts I work on… uh do you like CSS? 😝

@misprintedtype@front-end.social not until lately: since I started degoogling myself on ethical, non technical grounds, I thought I’d be comfortable in mentioning it (in the right context). Boy, was I wrong: every time I touched the subject I felt like wearing a thick tin foil hat. People were genuinely looking at me like a panda in a zoo. And I promise, I’m not particularly hardcore: I’m not self hosting my email or such. (I mean, I have an home lab, but I hardly talk about that to normies 😬)
