Contact Points
Many adults these days put in "Minors DNI or Minors Do Not Interact". I think kids should interact with adults in safe public spaces.
Similarly, I do not want any contact unrelated to your education on coding/tech even in public. Text conversations and screenshots of bugs only.
Do not DM me or engage in any attempt at private conversation. Submitting issues publicly and pull requests on Github is just fine, you gotta learn somehow.
Social Media
Paid Work / Professional Matters
It should be noted that these two contact points have high levels of filtering to make actual contact. A lack of response is a No unless we've got an existing relationship. This is ultimately something I do for fun, funding my tech hobbies, and not a reliable or important source of income.
