  6. Told my mom this dude said he was worried I was codependent and she had to check the meaning of codependent because it seemed so bizarre.

  58. …in reply to @catehstn
    This year expect to pay myself ~1/3 of what I made at google. But I 1) don't live in London & 2) only work w/ people who respect & value me.
  59. …in reply to @catehstn
    And if someone calls me a c*** again my hr department (me) won't use an external sexual assault to gaslight which is better than $$$ tbh.
  60. …in reply to @catehstn
    Massive financial privilege to be able to make that decisions. Plenty of people in hostile environments because they can't afford not to be.
  61. …in reply to @RachelShadoan
  62. …in reply to @catehstn
    Also what is interesting is how much of my revenue now comes from things I avoided doing at Google because they were not valued. #talkpay

  68. I'm pulling out of a conf I had planned to speak at because we can't agree on CoC wording.
  69. …in reply to @catehstn
    I should have looked into CoC before but knew so many other speakers I didn't think to - sorry, you should be able to expect better of me.
  70. …in reply to @catehstn
    For what it's worth I think the organiser is - in their own way - committed to providing a safe and welcoming space.
  71. …in reply to @catehstn
    I know a CoC does not guarantee that. But I still think that having a clear and enforceable one is important. Necessary, but not sufficient.

  95. Seriously it's 2015 people. I did not think we would still be having this conversation about whether code of conduct a necessary etc.
  96. …in reply to @catehstn
    Maybe should give up having types & just idk write binary code. What if we just lived without hard drives. 512mb is plenty! Who needs more?
  97. …in reply to @catehstn
    Why use auto complete? It destroys the authenticity of your code!
  98. …in reply to @catehstn
    Naming conventions are for lemmings. Roll your own so your code feels authentic to you. Who cares if it is harder for others to follow!
  99. …in reply to @undefined
    karamcnair haha me too but my point is we accept industry standard in other places and focus on reinventing social systems.
  100. …in reply to @catehstn
    Honestly I am SUPER tired of techies trying to reinvent social things. Holocracy. Meritocracy. Etc etc.

  109. …in reply to @undefined

  110. …in reply to @catehstn
    karamcnair shipping culture clearly bad but not shipping also since women judged on achievements men on potential.

  131. …in reply to @plragde
  132. Some final thoughts on code of conducts before I hope to never have to talk about them again.
  133. …in reply to @catehstn
    1) if people have to know you to trust your CoC then it is not a good CoC. The CoC is really for people who /don't/ know you.
  134. …in reply to @catehstn
    2) examples of unacceptable behavior are necessary. Include "not limited to". But anything that makes people uncomfortable is too vague.
  135. …in reply to @catehstn
    A) because plausible deniability "I didn't know and I thought she would like it if I did that"
  136. …in reply to @catehstn
    B) because you know one way I make men uncomfortable sometimes? By pointing out their bad behavior. Needs to be clear what's actually wrong.
  137. …in reply to @catehstn
    I only speak at conferences with a CoC. We only include conferences with a CoC in techspeakdigest. We push this because it matters.
  138. …in reply to @catehstn
    Have my stories, more from friends. Want to see better representation of minorities at conferences but I want those experiences to be GOOD.
  139. …in reply to @catehstn
    Code of conduct doesn't guarantee that. But not having one is too big a red flag to ignore, IMO. I won't suggest anyone else does.
  140. …in reply to @lccarson
    lccarson plragde hahahaha
  141. …in reply to @plragde
    plragde lccarson I am okay with "would again" and a discards bucket.

  173. Relatively certain the code I'm following in this Android dev tutorial won't even compile so y'know… that makes it extra fun.
  174. …in reply to @catehstn
    I kinda like Android dev from an intellectual perspective but some aspects of it just seem so inefficient.
  175. …in reply to @catehstn
    Like "here is this thing that almost everyone might want to do, yeah you do have to write that much code."
  176. …in reply to @catehstn
    E.g. when you want to take a picture you have to allocate memory. What do these people thing that an Operating System does?!
  177. …in reply to @catehstn
    Or sure, you can run code in the background. Like this! But if the phone gets rotated it will be killed, so there's that to consider.
  178. …in reply to @catehstn
    (I know there's another way to do this using a Service, this also has some downsides).
  179. …in reply to @fatneckbeardguy
    fatneckbeardguy they are? Unless you're doing x-platform C++.
  180. …in reply to @fatneckbeardguy
    fatneckbeardguy oh it's like, you have to mount the hard drive, check that happened, and make a file.
  181. …in reply to @catehstn
    fatneckbeardguy so by allocate memory I don't mean like, malloc. Just that you need to worry about there being memory.

    atonal440 yeah that's not so different from iOS though.
  183. …in reply to @atonal440
    atonal440 haha yeah maybe sometimes? Not my apps though, I aim for >90% unit test coverage ;)
  184. …in reply to @catehstn
    atonal440 I think there are comments to be made about architecture. It's more… some things seem like they should be easier than they are.
  185. …in reply to @DevWithTheHair
    DevWithTheHair hahaha well I have my version /compiling/ which is… something.
  186. …in reply to @DevWithTheHair
    DevWithTheHair yeah? I find common things on iOS are pretty straightforward but then you want to do something unexpected it's like "no"
  187. …in reply to @DevWithTheHair
    DevWithTheHair oh yeah keychain that is it's own special thing.
  188. …in reply to @DevWithTheHair
    DevWithTheHair I think on Android it's more prevalent but I am far from being an expert yet :)
  189. …in reply to @DevWithTheHair
    DevWithTheHair generally harder to make things pretty, for sure.
