There is honestly nowhere one can escape sexism in tech. It is everywhere all the time. That was the lesson from that awful book "Lean In". It's a lesson I keep learning successfully leading teams.

Men will always favor other men. Over women. Every time. Right now, women are not truly included. Because we're not truly considered to be people.

If you can accept this, and if you can keep the focus on the work, and if you can absorb gut punches, and if you have enough margin, then you're good.

Have you ever asked "Why isn't there an open source method of moments wire antenna analysis tool?"

Then I have a link for you.

@ai6yr @wtrmt "NASA’s consistent delight with ILC’s suits and constant frustration with the firm’s paperwork were not contradictory. In fact, they were of a piece. As the many counterexamples to ILC’s expertise show, any attempt to fit the human body precisely into the procedures of systems management seemed destined for difficulty." So well-said. Open source pattern/sizing designers have been grappling with this exact thing for at least two decades now.

@wren6991 really good question. Even without LLMs, TDD can give a false sense of security. Because passing tests do not guarantee functional code. It's worse when you succumb to the temptation to choose the test, rather than choose the code. For TDD to work, you need to have some steely nerves (discipline!). Now imagine doing TDD as a disembodied pattern matcher. No discipline. When it accidentally works it seems like magic. Because cathexis. (We will pack bond with toasters and plushies).

@divya@sfba.social and this will ensure that even more of us never consult with therapists, ever. Huge damage.

@ARDC@mastodon.hams.social PSA: be careful with ARDC. They are pretty gruesome with the ethics and code of conduct type stuff. DM me for on the record details, with receipts. If you need money and you can't find it anywhere else, take the money and run. Be warned, if you feel obligated to comply with their rules, they certainly do not. If you can find alternative funding, definitely do. There is money out there, distributed by much more professional and ethical people.
