I've decided to take a break from my mental health and just completely focus on work this week.

As a gay woman, you tell me I can't have a 'political or societal conversation' and that sounds a lot like I can't talk about my wife at work. Bc being in a gay marriage is a f'ing political statement to people. Im angry.

Companies are part of the solution or part of the problem. If you "ban societal and political discussions" you're abdicating your responsibility towards your marginalised employees who don't have the privilege of ignoring these problems. @dhh @jasonfried - very disappointing.

"No more societal and political discussions at Basecamp." Tech is political, business is political, people are political. By aspiring to neutrality you'll inevitably allow systemic power to materialise unchecked. So disappointed in Basecamp today. twitter.com/venikunche/sta…

I have been a software engineer for almost 10 years now and I think my only real principle is "please just solve the problems that actually exist" I see people who are much smarter and more experienced than me deviate from this and it almost always ends badly

Twitter’s “main character”, as @zkat__ put it, is a real thing. But wow. This is one of the most dominating topics I’ve ever seen on my feed. 😳

So... I'm wondering what's changed in the last, say, almost 16 months? Because this goes against your BS company statement now... world.hey.com/jason/changes-…

Working on my new email provider called FUCKING YIKES. It just replies FUCKING YIKES when tech CEOs email you with some bullshit.

yeah I fuckin bet it's stressful when marginalized employees speak up about external or internal shit that makes their lives hard or dangerous, if you're part of the power structure allowing those difficulties to continue. dick.

I love this concept of #blogumentation from @JamieTanna. It's something I've been trying out as a way to promote async communication at @fishbrainapp and I find it a really effective form of getting ideas and development patterns across. jvt.me/posts/2017/06/…
