Hallo Amsterdam! So spaced out I walked right past baggage reclaim. I've spent so much time in airports you'd think I'd be better at them.
-
Turns out there is a special door. Show passport + ticket, go back and try again when you do something this daft. 2nd attempt, all was well.
-
Also gotta love conf organizers who 1) collect you 2) bring a SIM card 3) give you water :) excited to be MDevcon!

Also I know A LOT of women in tech who have received gendered shitty behavior. Even when grounds for a suit, most of us just leave quietly.
-
Basically why I am cheering for #ellenpao. Because she is brave and awesome enough to challenge it. May this be the first of many.

I think it would be really cool if the next round of tech innovation was women funded by women who won massive suits against the bros.

HR Google, y'all - Former Google engineer claims she was sexually harassed and "Google did nothing about it" m.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2015/03/07/former-google-engineer-claims-she-was-sexually-harassed-google-did-nothing-about-it
-
Seems like a good time to share my "it's not an asshole problem" post again. catehuston.com/blog/2014/12/31/sigh/ What do you do when HR are bystanders?
-
Something we saw in the reverse allies panel ghc last year was how little women engineers trust HR.
-
I hear that google execs went back with that message, have been putting pressure on HR. But this culture has been around for so long.
-
Let's be clear - there are countless other women who have worked at google with stories like this, or worse. (Of course I have mine, too)
-
sch it's always a fucking "isolated incident" how many does it take to be a trend?!
-
I've been quietly telling women who asked for years that I cant recommend google as a company for women. Time to be more public.
-

zmagg justkelly_ok actually having women interview male candidates is a start. But 90% of my interviews were of women.
-
justkelly_ok zmagg hahaha yeah I got patronized by people I interviewed by never that!
-
justkelly_ok zmagg one guy bombed his interview and then asked "would I be running this project" and I was like, "no, I am."
-
justkelly_ok zmagg or lol the dude who said "you seem to know a lot about iOS development" Tech lead. Kinda my job, bro.
-
justkelly_ok zmagg basically of the 10% men I interviewed I only remember them being stupid.
-
justkelly_ok zmagg fuck. That.
-
justkelly_ok zmagg I heard that one too... jeez I wonder if we heard the same story or if it was just prevalent.
-
kevinmarks justkelly_ok zmagg yeah it's such a low bar but apparently having women interview is a great signal of if they are a jackass.
-
justkelly_ok zmagg oh I totally had time for that on top of my full time job of being an engineer. /sarcasm
-
kevinmarks justkelly_ok zmagg right it cuts both ways and I have gone back and forth on it. Depends how much it is valued.
-
kevinmarks justkelly_ok zmagg I started interviewing early and it was basically a thankless time sink like all corporate feminism.
-
MoisheL kevinmarks justkelly_ok zmagg yes and then it's promo time and they say "but you seem to spend a lot of time on other things?"
-
justkelly_ok kevinmarks zmagg i think you meant "this tweet is wise and profound" (I am going to imagine that, anyway)

It's so easy to tell when I'm angsty. I start messaging my adored aryareaisparsi saying "run away with me, let's die alone together."
-
So far aryareaisparsi isn't sold on this plan but with such a compelling pitch I think we can all agree it is just a matter of time.

"Love is like head wound. It make you dizzy. You think you die. But you recover. Usually." -Dorota, Gossip Girl.

Quintessentially British weather on my last day in this country for a while - blue skies and hail.
-
After 3 days mostly horizontal with a stomach bug I got myself to the gym promising myself that I just needed to get there.
-
But after forgetting my iPad and going back for it is clear I was lying to myself. Let's go! Kill or cure.
-
aryareaisparsi i love you, arya 💜
-
skamille I hope that is actually a premonition.

.Geek_Manager tells it like it is, "I appreciate this offends your control freak nature, but think of it as an exercise in personal growth"
-
Geek_Manager you do there was another gem earlier too ;)
-
When I decided "I can't leave the gym before I know what happened to X" that was maybe a mistake. I'll be the pile on the floor.
