@Gina @fosdem I'd spent the Friday before in Brussels looking for that EU t-shirt.
Brexit had happened legally and I was sad and angry about it. So I decided to wear the flag along with my peacock feather leggings.

@Gina @fosdem But it was good to present at FOSDEM and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
We do need more DEI tracks and opportunities for folks to present as Gina points out it does mitigate the imposter syndrome.

I'm still of the opinion that while I'm not like in the top 10% of developers, I sure as hell am better than a lot of the trash out there. But then I have a pretty low opinion of the tech industry in general :( hard to feel like an imposter when you feel so surrounded by cowboys.

"Legally" might be stretching it a bit there. Sorry for the interjection but I'm still pissed over Brexit.

@MurrayWindripper @Gina @fosdem I literally cried outside the EU parliament building in the 31st of January.
I'm still angry about it myself.
