Hello, I'm Adhan! Programmer, indie dev, and obsessive learner

[generalred]

As the title says, I’m Adhan (ah-DHAHN), I also go by “General Red” online, and my pronouns are he/him. I am a Software Engineer as my day job, where I mainly use Python, C, and very occasionally C# (I’ve also been pitching Rust). I am an Indie Game Dev for my hobby work, where I specialize mostly in engineering and graphics. I’ve been learning a lot about worker co-ops recently so I’d be very happy to talk about that.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing games (who woulda thunk), reading, messing with Legos, and tasting coffee. I am weirdly obsessed with Sci-Fi media, especially the cyberpunk genre. I also really enjoy learning about anything and anyone. There’s much more I could say but I’ll leave that to our future conversations. Hope to get to know you soon!

Hi there Adhan! Welcome to the forum

Background In the last decade or so (and especially since the pandemic) large tech companies have across the board engaged in what Cory Doctorow calls enshittification. To describe this process simply, large tech companies have hit a wall and found it harder to produce value, as all of the low-hanging fruit has …

I’m also obsessed with sci-fi! I hope we can have some of those conversations here soon. Feel free to post any progress you make on games in Show Off as well

I believe this is the 6th person to express explicit interest in co-operatives since Tsuki started.What a great start
