I don't have a beard, but you are on point.
I have written assemblers, OS'es, communications processing for async, bisync, SDLC, TCP/IP, data compression, file system managers, ... to name a few things.
But, the thing I miss the most is good, concise, well-written documentation.

I've asked lots of people what LGBTQ stands for – but no one will give me a straight answer.

That's because you're not being inclusive enough.
Although LGBTQQIP2SAA might also be out of date; seems like it changes every week.

Here's a thought, not meant to be bigoted, but just a curious scenario:
If a gay male decides he is lesbian . . . ?
I once saw LGBTQIA+ No explanation. Perhaps the above hypothetical scenario is what is implied by the + ?

Nah - gay men don't fancy women so being a lesbian wouldn't fit.
I've told many of my straight male colleagues that they are token lesbians though

Actually, you've hit upon my point - particularly with your second comment line.
Might I take it as an answer? A bit like "Not No" being awfully close to "Yes" in terms of cancellation. Not quite identical.
Anyway - I always perceive the world as playing jokes on it's inhabitants in each ones perception of everything (thus, everyone) else. So - see what you can as a joke, make jokes about it, and with a really good bit of luck you'll wake up in somep sensible existence.

You may indeed take it as an answer
I like your thinking on ways to a sensible existence too... reminds me of a line from Le Barbier de Séville -
"Je me presse de rire de tout, de peur d'être obligé d'en pleurer" which roughly translates as "I make myself laugh at everything - for fear of having to cry"

Old magazine stroke sun god’s ego, it rules (9)
[Edit]
Should've done more research, I assumed the first part was more international than it was, American & European CCC'ers may need to think Australian, NZ, Indonesian Malaysian, Singaporean & Thai region.

I think you are going to end up with tomorrows as well - I think I have the "sun god's ego" bit, but that's my lot!

I'm actually going into surgery tomorrow and will be out of action for a few days. So I'm going have to pass the baton back, apologies.
clue: ego is just a misdirection and I like ancient Egypt.

I'd got the RA, assumed the ego was ID, and have never even heard of "Cleo" the magazine!

You're right, Cleo isn't/wasn't big (available?) over here!

Well done

Just seen your comment above (written whilst posting mine). Assuming I'm right with Cleopatra I'm up tomorrow, if I'm wrong I'm up tomorrow...
Hope all goes well for you tomorrow, and that you'll be back online soon setting more clues. Aside from the regional aspect (and I fear I'm guilty of that too), good one!

Yes, you got it.

An interesting bit that should be ex tractable: correlation of language sets.
For example, what fraction of C user use C++ or C# ?
JavaScript and PHP ?
Now not too extensive - but some fun and useful correlations.
That is,of course, if the separated-by-user data is available to you.
