“Deeply problematic but practical advice”

This post from Charity, who I believe I first started following when she presented at a gluecon about parse, is excellent and speaks to some of the strategies she’s used to succeed in technology.

If you feel like table flipping out of tech, just remember the rest of the world is at LEAST as sexist as tech is, but without the money and power and ridiculous life-coddling. Where exactly do you think you’re going to go?

Several hundred words of zero bs. Worth a read. And if you’re not a member of a marginalized group, it’s a great read to give you a taste of what it must be like. At least that’s what I took from it.

Update 3/5/18: My wife pointed out that she was offended by this post (a bit tone deaf, to paraphrase). I just want to be clear that I’m not a member of any marginalized group and just wanted to call attention to what I thought was a post documenting strategies, which I inferred were in response to some problems that have been publicized recently.
