Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't really know how to explain my job to someone without them thinking it's something else. Maybe it's ego but I hate saying I'm a dev (and which kind) because of what they're going to assume but I also don't want to say something pretentious like "I solve problems".
I have been thinking of just saying I program even though that's very reductionist but at the same time I don't want to answer any questions about my work.
I guess you could say I wish I had a real job that did real things.

Of topic: At least in Germany the work title "engineer" is protected. You need to have studied a technical degree in at least a 3 year program at a recognized university. Just a fun fact.
