I don't think minorities should be hired to be "visible", that doesn't sit right with me. Hiring minorities and even people from different economic backgrounds, country of origin e…

yes, but we use SQL in our job daily, if only for validation, but also we write a lot of scripts for reporting, migration etc. It's pretty crucial for the job and we've turned away…

Well, she is learning it now and I wouldn't call her "useless". But her level of experience and knowledge is far below "software engineer" and if she were a guy she couldn't get aw…

Exactly, I'm not using it to bolster my statement, rather to prevent being called a Nazi

No, I don't want to name my company for obvious reasons but it's not Google or Facebook, not in the same league. It's an organization with around 400 engineers in it total, so not …

Of course, that's how it used to be, but posting this without my profile picture next to it would bring out accusations of being sexist/nazi etc if I didn't clarify.

I've been accused of lying about it before to get attention. Realistically I only state it as a precaution because lately some of the things I've posted on other venues get an imme…

>If someone is incompetent and also happens to be from a minority group then everyone starts complaining about how they are a "diversity hire" but with incompetent white males they…

Yes, that is part of her job, but it wasn't covered in the interview process from what I've been told.

In a way that was my point, I just wasn't really good at relaying it. Of course there are many incompetent male engineers but it's more noticeable when they are a "diversity hire".…

Girl, I'm glad you're speaking out, but learn about paragraphs, and use them.

Honestly, this whole thing is just ugly. I read what he wrote. It was (mostly) ugly but contained a lot of truth. Before you downvote/call me a Nazi, I'm a mixed race woman in tech…

This could be super useful for code reviews. I wonder how well it works across continents (I'm guessing fairly well).

The founder of this company is also facing rape charges, as a side note.

Same here, they seem to do a lot for the community, and have items you can't find anywhere else easily.

I prefer "whole paycheck"

incredibly smart. There's a bit of a loss after an acquisition for obvious reasons which usually means cutbacks and trimming the fat etc. Looks like Amazon will be doing this but f…

It's more than minor, Google changed their definition a while ago, and dictionaries have been following suit. I always thought it would be Republicans who would make 1984 a reality…

> always identified left but I'm definitely starting to feel confused by the actions of other leftys. I definitely don't identify with the right so overall I'm feeling tribeless as…

This is the difference between how it should be, and how it is. When you solve something simply and pragmatically it won't impress the non-technical or semi-technical manager. They…

They will definitely push their own agenda, because that's the agenda of most of their market. We democrats tend to stick to tech pretty hard, and we buy things. Billy joe bob will…
