  1. Hi floss.social. Just moved in from fosstodon.org/@ygor

    I'm an #ElectricalEngineer from #Brazil, currently living in #France for many years. I work as a #SoftwareDeveloper, writing proprietary software for #microfluidics (I do wish I could work on #FreeSoftware for a living instead). My favorite programming language is #rustlang, but I use/have used about a dozen other languages, they're alright. I'm also a fan of #animation.

    So I'm reaching out into the world and asking all of you: How would you solve this?
