-
fatneckbeardguy ha yes I have come to the conclusion that I like people... I just hate developers.
-
.nsconf speakers are up! Including me! nsconference.com
-
fatneckbeardguy urgh yes that does suck. I spent more than a year building my confidence and finding non-obnoxious guys has been so helpful
-
fatneckbeardguy for me the biggest trigger is being patronized. It makes me stabby.
-
Seriously the line up is GREAT mostgood gave an amazing talk on a11y IOSDEVUK and I'm excited to see amyruthworrall speak.
-
There are also a bunch of dudes speaking, but they look very interesting and I'm sure they will be delightful :)
-
fatneckbeardguy :s I met them mostly at confs, not at work...
-
fatneckbeardguy :( it's shirty. I'm really sorry.
-
fatneckbeardguy I mostly go to ios and mobile confs, all with CoCs. Has mostly been a good experience, were a few minor things but...
-
fatneckbeardguy nothing major. Front end and mobile bit less macho in general.
-
fatneckbeardguy I think, or maybe just want to think... We don't really have evidence :s
-
fatneckbeardguy anyway as in all things it is what bothers you and what you need. Lmk if I can help in any way.
-
fatneckbeardguy that should have said shitty.
-
fatneckbeardguy urgh no. Although better a conf organizer than HR. In my experience they were basically professional gas lighters.
-
fatneckbeardguy yep. When I missed a training because a guy who had behaved awfully was there they said I probably didn't want to fly...
-
fatneckbeardguy ... Because I had recently been mistaken by another tech bro as the inflight entertainment on a plane.
-
fatneckbeardguy I preferred the honesty of the police who did nothing, but never pretended they were going to.
-
fatneckbeardguy for me when I've pointed out minor things been encouraged by response but risk of otherwise there, understandable to avoid.
-
fatneckbeardguy right. There is also this thing called business class where you get personal space.
-
fatneckbeardguy I flew 120k miles last year and I swear half of them were to prove them wrong.
-
fatneckbeardguy oh yes I got a memorable email that said "you should feel safe at work" I wonder what that is like...
-

-
fatneckbeardguy yeah we've enacted a process, feel okay about it. Process just seemed to create a new attack vector.
-
fatneckbeardguy right. Safer not to say anything; once you have you are never allowed to talk to anyone else. Exceptionally isolating.

maelorin fatneckbeardguy or "maybe you should provoke them less" :s

ThisTechGirl I mean I wish that isn't what was happening but adore your phrasing!
-
rossgrady that is great! Did you cc the women themselves? I had one manager who wouldn't pass on positive feedback he received about me.
-
rossgrady Like so much of the problem comes from assuming women have good managers who recognise this stuff.
-
rossgrady so much better though. Measuring since forever. Having people work on this stuff. Internal programs for women.
-
anaredmond ThisTechGirl ha yes. That pipeline! Or the pipeline of good managers!

scarerkite you are wrong. I am yet to reach disapproval currently appalled you plan to be seen in public in it!

felsull do it! 9 days seems too short though and China is pretty cheap. Think you could diy @ that price.

felsull main thing might be diet? I am allergic to nuts which was often challenging there.

felsull (spent about 5 months in China total)

scarerkite I thought you must be entering an ugly sweater competition. Do people do that in the UK?

MotherOFirebees <3 <3 <3
-
Urgh the rolling stone thing. So upsetting. How you are supposed to be a perfect victim with perfect recall after being drugged astounds me.
-
When someone is mugged they are allowed to not have been entirely sure what happened. Rape? Must be exact on every detail.
-
People are waiting to jump on you because they don't want to believe that it is true.
-
Personally I find it far harder to believe a woman could make up something like that. Details, confusion, this is not necessarily a lie.
-
MotherOFirebees yes. And effect on victims. I remember sitting still thinking that 3 times, I'd be sure. Waiting for him to do it again.

There are no satirical rape threats. There are just rape threats with different degrees of credibility, little way to differentiate between.

Fucking hell that article... There might actually need to be a conversation about ethics in tech journalism, and it's not the one happening.
-
I read it. I am suitably ashamed of myself. It is basically everything that makes me despair about the tech industry.
-
Also finding women to agree with misogynistic views does not make those views not misogynistic.
-
Illustrating a big reason why I decided not to criticize other women.
-
One woman has an opinion a misogynist disagrees with -> she's historical. One woman has an opinion he agrees with -> she represents women.
-
hirojin don't read it.
-
FYI it is possible to be a feminist, oppose racism and date a white dude. Although I admit some white dudes make that hard to believe.
-
Although let's be clear that a woman's personal life being used to discredit her is a huge part of the problem.
-
King George IV, a known womanizer, accused his mistreated wife of infidelity and had her investigated. This is a classic misogynist move.

Quite looking forward to seeing the interview, despite being a North Korean sympathizer. As a European communism is less horrifying.

Also not like the US wouldn't do the same. Plenty wrong and horrifying in NK. But that is true of US as well. E.g. Torture. Murderous cops.
-
czechboy0 well yeah, I went there last year. It's a weird place admittedly.
-
czechboy0 depends which people. People in Pyongyang are better off than rest of the country. You don't get to see elsewhere.
-
czechboy0 the theory has a better maternity leave policy than the U.S. And housing and food for everyone. The practice is deeply flawed.
-
czechboy0 but the U.S. Has massive wealth inequality, much of it on racial lines, a torture program, police who murder children...
-
czechboy0 and I don't think Fox News is any more accurate than the NK propaganda machine.
-
czechboy0 it's not good. SK people much better off, taller cos nourishment. Gbp/capita higher but unlikely to be high enough to absorb NK.
-
czechboy0 how much difference is there between illegal and unaffordable? Most Chinese can't afford to leave China.
-
czechboy0 and Ofc most Americans don't have passports.
-
kwugirl yeah I buy it on iTunes after season complete. Have you seen DDD?
-
czechboy0 my point is us talks about NK like it is the only evil thing. But there is plenty of it.

pilky share kit is dead to me.

pilky lol

CScheerleader chiuki thanks! Super glad to hear that!
-
MotherOFirebees you could live tweet it. Just to ensure a disaster <3
-
MotherOFirebees it's also fixed by live tweeting your date, rage quitting dating, and embracing dying alone. #justsaying
-
MotherOFirebees it can then be broken when you replace sex with swimming. #mystrategy #totallyworking #noregrets

My jawbone is all "you only moved 25 steps" and I'm all "no you discharged your battery in approximately 4 hours, 2h16 into my sleep."
-
And then I'm all "and you wouldn't have tracked my awesome 70 laps of the pool ANYWAY." We are going to bed now wish us luck.

RT dontgetcaught: catehstn I foresee a talk on "Arguing with My Wearable Tech."
-
.KarlTheMartian I feel let down. Rejected. I just want it to match my energy levels and do all the things I wanna do with me.
-
KarlTheMartian I hadn't thought about placing that kind of dependency on a vacuum cleaner.

rossgrady than the Fitbit judging you? Now your iPhone is?

MotherOFirebees do you have a pet rock?

RT LittleMxSurly: Would love to know what the response these chuckleheads preaching respect for Leelah's mother would have if the woman ha…
-
RT LittleMxSurly: You know, rather than just abusing her into taking her own life. Fuck that noise.
-
brendam damn! Have fun!
-
The tech industry is super exploitative. "Community", "karma". All these things other than actual legal tender.
-
In 2015 lets do more to pay people for their work. Especially women and marginalized people. It's a feminist act.
-
@superSGP thanks :)
-
RT neha: Interested in speaking at tech conferences? A great newsletter put together by chiuki and catehstn: tinyletter.com/techspeak

You should read my last blog post of 2014, on tech's bystander problem and how I learned what an ally looked like. wp.me/s11Aax-sigh

ashedryden and you pay your speakers!
-
ashedryden would love to post your next cfp on techspeakdigest we only post confs with CoC and you are doing awesome work.

I am 24 miles away from status because so many european flights don't actually get points on partners. Writing pathetic email to AirCanada.

RT karenmcgrane: “I don’t think the tech industry has an asshole problem so much as a bystander problem.” wp.me/s11Aax-sigh catehstn
-
skemsley ha yes true. I have typically felt more let down by the bystander than the asshole though. Because I think capable of better.
-
skemsley yeah :s
-
MotherOFirebees hilarious and adorablw
-
juliaferraioli techspeakdigest thank you! :)
-
jo_miller awwh thanks! No I got back on the 21st and was waiting for miles to be added from that flight... Then discovered they wouldn't be
-
jo_miller guy seemed optimistic they would let me off 24 miles. I bloody hope so.
-
jo_miller basically didn't get 100% for any flight this year because air miles are a scam. Esp flying with partners.
-
Sweated out most of the last of 2014 (and the last of the mindy project) in the gym, burying the rest in a novel. Have a good one, y'all.

GlennF thank you so much! And yes agree with your assessment, men worry about it too much. I have been super grateful for men intervening.
-
danshapiro catehstn/550350848812150785 :) thank you!
-
GlennF that makes sense. Depressing thought though. It alarms me how much of tech culture is driven by nerds not getting laid.
