Sure, what the heck. Ask me stuff.
Professional stuff: I work in tech, but I've never worked as a developer — I have fifteen years of experience as a sysadmin and site reliability engineer. I seem to be unusually good at troubleshooting systems problems — which leaves me in the somewhat unfortunate position of being most satisfied with my job when all the shit is fucked up, which does not happen often. I've used about a dozen computer languages; these days I code mostly in Python and Go; for fun I occasionally try to learn more Haskell. I've occasionally tried teaching programming to novices, which is one incredible lesson in illusion of transparency, maybe even better than playing Zendo. I've also conducted around 200 technical interviews.
Personal stuff: I like cooking, but I don't stress about diet; I have the good fortune to prefer salad over dessert. I do container gardening. I've studied nine or ten (human) languages, but alas am only fluent in English; of those I've studied, the one I'd recommend as the most interesting is ASL. I'm polyamorous and in a settled long-term relationship. I get along pretty well with feminists — and think the stereotypes about feminists are as ridiculous as the stereotypes about libertarians. My Political Compass score floats around (1, –8) in the "weird libertarian" end of the pool. I play board games; I should probably play more Go, but am more likely to play more Magic. I was briefly a Less Wrong meetup organizer.

How typical do you think your experience has been in this regard? IME, teaching programming to complete novice has been cruise-control stuff and one of the relatively few things where I know exactly what's going on and where I'm going within minutes of starting.
For context: I've had success in teaching a complete novice with vague memory of high-school-math usage of variables how to go from that to wr...
If you want people to ask you stuff reply to this post with a comment to that effect.
More accurately, ask any participating LessWronger anything that is in the category of questions they indicate they would answer.
