Unicorn… Nah, I’m kidding fortunately for women there’s no strong stereotypes. There were enough women in my gigs that the individuality was easily apparent.

Since that’s isn’t really fun I’ll pull some very broad strokes descriptions out my rear end and see which one resonates with you.

The Professional Mom: 8-4:30 on the dot but maximum effort during working hours and never ever seen goofing off or chit chatting (lunch included). Pretty chill though and smart as hell.

The boardgame/crossword girl: most likely to be gender fluid. Don’t ever mistake her for “gamer girl”. Will happily shoot the shit with you and goof off if you treat her like human being. Will probably have real experiences of getting work/credit stolen by tech bros.

The optimistic young coder: super jazzed about being the in the field and learning everything about anything. A people pleaser to a fault. Give it two to three years before she’s completely jaded. Until then, an absolute sponge of knowledge.

The cut throat career track woman: absolutely obsessed with advancing her status. Tech bros learn brutality from these ladies. Usually transition to pure management or product divisions pretty early. Also most likely to organize the “women in tech” meetings for clout in the current company. Stay on their good side for your sake.

Facts

Being an American I would implore other Americans to make their own butter at home at least once to know just how much better it is. Then imagine that being done with quality milk. That’s what these folks are talking about.

Duh … we all learned this in sex ed

I would argue that ASM isn’t “powerful”. It’s direct. You can access advanced features of a CPUs architecture with the trade off limited portability. Sometimes it’s necessary but power comes from being able to express complex control and data structures in a concise and readable amount of text.

The subjective topic of what “concise and readable” means is where the language wars come in.

What Crockford did was enable a lot of devs to realize there was a viable development platform built into the most prolific and open network client in the world. For that he should be commended but it should have never been taken as “this is a viable general purpose language”.

I love how after a decade pandoc is still Haskell’s “killer app”. smh

Yeah that’s absolutely a thing all over warm weather states in America. It drives me crazy that I try to acclimate to the higher heat and just end up inside with 68° air conditioner settings. Absolutely freezing my ass off. But the reality is that is more middle/ upper class living. If you’re doing manual labor or living in poverty, you know what the heat is actually like.

Austin is the common “island of sanity” that happens with American cities. Is it enough to say in Texas… Not for me.

“30°C is hot” - laughs in Texan

Oh those disgusting sex worker communities. What’s the name?

I dunno… It was a shit meme
