I think you’ve just made that up.

That feels like a bold and possibly dangerous thing to say without evidence.

I think an important factor is how fast the team need you to hit the ground running. Where there’s time for new developers to get up to speed with a new tech stack, I completely ag…

I think the biggest hurdle going from Java to C# is how you think about asynchronous code, more so for desktop software. My last role was C# with me coming from Java and I got a fe…

From this day forward, I will refer to this sort of attack as a PiTM attack. Not much you can do to stop me I'm afraid.

So long as you expand the acronym in the first use, no one reasonable cares.

Eh, you don't get to control the language of others. If someone wants to say PitM, that's their business.

Yes, I feel a bit robbed by 90s computers when I pick up old manuals or cheap programming books for things like the BBC Micro.

I’m jealous that older generations get to say they wrote their first program on iconic hardware. Computers of my time were much faster, but they were very generic.

We do RFCs, I dislike the concept. It feels like an extension of this troubling trend of taking away autonomy from engineers.

Big brain comment here.

Listen, I know what I’ve experienced. Edit: No actually, I can't understand what this is? You are trying to convince me my experiences are wrong. You don't seem to actually want to…

Striving to build an environment where effort is made to attribute credit where it's due and to strive for equality of outcome for all is what we need to do. You're still picking t…

I think proponents of meritocracy are naive.

As a woman in tech, I feel that it isn't actually a meritocracy. I think people have a habit of assuming men did the real work in a project, so they get a disproportionate share of…

While we're playing this silly, overly reductive logical fallacy bingo game, IMHO, your reply is a straw man.

The person you’re replying to didn’t say the article was wrong or try to discredit with an ad hominem attack, I interpreted as questioning if we really want to hear the opinions of…

Oh, that’s an interesting tool. Thanks.

How do you establish that a binary is trustworthy? I know what I do, I generally try to find user reviews, but someone had to install it first.

I found myself without a job a few years ago and I really needed a lifeboat. A job just sort of came to me on Linkedin with very little effort and while it wasn't the best, it was …

I think there's a weird seam of irrational rage around the mere suggestion that tech isn't some utopian meritocracy. I find it jarring.
