Kind reposts

Please, teams of tech people who think you're really clever, please before you release a thing can you ask yourselves unbelievably basic questions like: - does this work for Black people? - would a domestic abuser find this handy? - can this be used by a government to oppress?

The public respect for Chris Evans’ privacy/feelings is wonderful. Wouldn’t it be nice if it extended to women when this kind of thing happens?

Web developers: when you say, “this browser does not support our site,” what you REALLY mean is that you don’t support the browser. Don’t turn it around on the browser/user because you chose not to stick to universally-supported standards, or worse, are doing user agent sniffing.

When I worked with @MrAndrew, this happened so much over email. He'd get reasonable, polite responses and I'd get unreasonable rude ones. When he sent newsletters with minor mistakes missed, no follow-ups. When I sent them, multiple men emailing me corrections. It's exhausting.

So. A (male) publicist was trying to book a (male) colleague and I for podcast. We gave availability but didn't get confirmation. The publicist informed us with hours notice that we were on today. My (male) colleague and I both said we couldn't do it. Here are the two responses.

"Approximately 250" of the best folks I've worked with are looking for work today. While it hurts to see friends lose their jobs, the growing fear of a web wholly controlled by big tech is more uncomfortable. The world needs Mozilla. *You* need Mozilla. Use it or lose it.

Welcome to the world of tampons and sanitary towels.

I don’t know about anyone else but I’ve already spent a small fortune on masks, admittedly as a result of losing them or forgetting them at home. It’s fine for me, I can afford to buy more on the road. For those on low incomes, though, this could quickly become a problem.

A nice thing about working on the same project for many years is you’re forced to deal with the consequences of bad decisions you made long ago. Really sharpens your instinct for spotting technical debt before it starts accruing.

Kanye’s announcement is a great reminder that men look at job descriptions and think—“hey, I’m not remotely qualified, but I think I could do that.” Apply for all the jobs, women.

Helping a friend negotiate their salary and was reminded of the time I had an offer pulled earlier in my career for attempting to negotiate + asking for an extra day to compare offers. If this ever happens to you- RUN! Huge red flag 🙄

These couple of days helped me really see the importance in initiatives like @PFNotts Access For All. Giving people the tools they need to even have a chance at trying to do a tech job. Especially in the current mostly remote environment 6/

Because backend is such a different space. You are in control. You tell the computer to do something, and it does it. Frontend is a constant battle. It's like raising a teenager who is always talking back and doing whatever they wanna do.

I just found out I have to wear a mask when I give birth! If I can wear a mask while I cry & scream & bleed & shit myself & push a human out of my body, you can wear a fucking mask to buy your bulk Cheez Wiz at Costco.
