Having worked in open source for a majority of my career now, I can say that the “just send a pull request” meme downplays the cost of software maintenance. Maintainers need to deal with the ramifications of supporting this change when the contributor has moved on #oss

Brogrammer culture is such a toxic thing. I despise it, and I loath all who are part of it or who defend it.

The problem with learning from experts is that they are so far removed from square one. Their material assumes some foundational knowledge. Newbies, don't be afraid to share what you're learning. From the beginning. We - even the experts - need your fresh perspective!

Women and girls should not have to take the responsibility of ensuring they aren’t raped or sexually assaulted. That is not how that works.

I used “not male” in a survey and I received absolutely no lashings. Trying to be inclusive of an underrepresented gender portion of the gender spectrum should not be this difficult. “Women and folks often misgendered as women” doesn’t always fit in 280 characters.

Reading this thread made me so sad. Thing is, I know countless girls and women who have stories just like this one. Honestly heartbreaking. I’m so glad that she helped. Let’s teach boys/men not to be predators, how about that? Fuck sake.

My blood is boiling! I was doing my run and I felt a schoolgirl tap me on the shoulder. Silly me thought I dropped something but she was shaking and told me a creepy old man had been following her in a car and she begged me to walk with her on the way to school….

Stop writing “competitive salary” on job posting. It literally means nothing.

The problem with this country is people who make $700 per hour have convinced people who make $25 per hour that people who make $7.25 per hour are the problem.

We need to start normalizing that software engineering can be a 9-to-5 job. It's ok to not live, eat, and breathe tech 24/7. It's ok to be in tech bc it's a lucrative job that pays the bills. You don't need to be passionate about tech to be in tech.

If you’re still wearing a mask, washing your hands, and staying away from people, please retweet because sometimes people try to make me feel different.

No, it IS a bad look if you continue playing Activision games after this. Blah blah blah no ethical consumption under capitalism but video games are a choice, not a basic necessity. There are plenty other games to play. You're supporting abusers.

I've always been jealous of male colleagues who get to move freely about the industry chasing jobs that challenge them. They get to ask questions about the project in interviews. I had to ask "how many women are in the team? How many are in leadership positions?"

To be clear: the reason I'm sick is that my 9yo, who cannot be vaxxed yet, was infected by someone who had COVID and was in public, infecting others. If you can be vaccinated, and choose not to, you are putting others at risk. And I don't know how you live with that.

Probably wise of the police to just leave them to it until they do something really dangerous like holding a candlelight vigil for a woman murdered by a police officer.

I feel like at least once a week, someone asks me what they can do to help women or mothers or people from underrepresented communities. My answer is always the same: HIRE THEM. PAY THEM. It’s not complicated!

TikTok is so full of it. Things keep coming up that shows that the app is not favorable for Black ppl. But most of these companies are asking creators to have a following on there. 😕

Post details

TikTok said “the app is mistakenly flagging phrases like ‘Black Lives Matter’ because its hate speech detector is triggered by a combination of words involving the words ‘Black’ and ‘audience’ — because ‘audience’ contains the word ‘die’ in it.” 🙄 vox.com/recode/2021/7/…

“No one will ever find your website”😬 It’s like Polywork is trying to prey on people’s insecurities—especially beginners. IMO no social or professional network is nearly as good as a personal Website is to express ur identity & show ur work. Mine even replaced my CV years ago.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but AWS Infinidash is a really elaborate devops Twitter shitpost that is intentionally nonsensical, so if you've never heard of this nonexistent service and/or it makes no sense to you, it's not you and you're not dumb 🤗

github copilot has, by their own admission, been trained on mountains of gpl code, so i'm unclear on how it's not a form of laundering open source code into commercial works. the handwave of "it usually doesn't reproduce exact chunks" is not very satisfying
