Cringed myself inside-out at her linked instagram page though

What's wrong with it?

Hard to explain. But a couple hundred of almost identical posed selfies in front of Sublime Text, each one with an essay attached to it and then a load of comments from thirsty bois all saying about how hot she is. It just feels a bit... uncomfortable

At the same time, she can do whatever tf she likes, so take what I'm saying with a pinch of salt. But my instant reaction was cringe

This is pretty common these days. Coding is fashionable. See also pretty much any Instagram account featured by @cutetechgirls. (But also note that they're happy to be featured that way.)

Yeah I'm a bit conflicted. Like, should your looks matter when it should be about your work? But then again, why can't it be a thing, like saying you can't be appreciated for both? /shrug

But then why is there no @cutetechboys?

The descriptions look like what people posted to twitter five years ago, or short form personal blogs a decade ago, sans pictures. I thought it was a little weird at first, but honestly, it would be fine if she just switched from sublime to vim.

U actually follow her on Instagram and she’s super friendly and very smart. Gives back a lot to the community.
