GitHub Developer Skills
EDITOR BRIEF
The author says GitHub’s remote-first culture made transitioning easier because work relies on handles, writing, and avatars more than names or appearance. They also note benefits that cover gender-affirming care, along with the ability to expense items like voice training and therapy. Their path into code began in IT support, then self-teaching programming and moving into security work.
