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.

My faux and future husband aryareaisparsi doesn't seem worried though.

My salary: $0 since I quit the tech industry to do my own thing. (Plan to start paying myself in June though) #talkpay

Before numbers sounded ok but e.g I ran a team on a new grad salary (3 people, app to App Store in 3 months) which is some bs #talkpay

justkelly_ok not everywhere. Once I relo'd to london I got no medical or dental. This is partly the UK tax system.

justkelly_ok :)

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.
-
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.
-
Massive financial privilege to be able to make that decisions. Plenty of people in hostile environments because they can't afford not to be.
-
RachelShadoan yep
-
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

tinkertim yeah to an extent but also I am not from the U.S. So did not have student loans, and also family money.

I'm pulling out of a conf I had planned to speak at because we can't agree on CoC wording.
-
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.
-
For what it's worth I think the organiser is - in their own way - committed to providing a safe and welcoming space.
-
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.

-
Seriously it's 2015 people. I did not think we would still be having this conversation about whether code of conduct a necessary etc.
-
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?
-
Why use auto complete? It destroys the authenticity of your code!
-
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!
-
karamcnair haha me too but my point is we accept industry standard in other places and focus on reinventing social systems.
-
Honestly I am SUPER tired of techies trying to reinvent social things. Holocracy. Meritocracy. Etc etc.
-
The invention of the computer did not actually write off years of study about human behaviour, FYI.

-
karamcnair ahhhhh okay cool I will reflect
-
karamcnair currently have: no asshole rule, transparency and I have forgotten the 3rd but I wrote it down
-
karamcnair oh 3rd is shipping culture!
-
karamcnair shipping culture clearly bad but not shipping also since women judged on achievements men on potential.
-
bl haha okay since you ask nicely ;)
-
alexproaps I don't know :) I guess non women can technically enter the code?
-
alexproaps :) I was so enthused and then discovered that conf has no CoC and now idk what to think.
-
indec omg I never thought of this but you are RIGHT
-
The good news is this time next week I will be on Easter island where there is little internet. I may pretend there is no internet.
-
alexproaps hahaha that was my reaction hence ranting
-
alexproaps Yeah I have had a day of this and I never want to talk about cocs again
-
juliaferraioli ooh what kind of dog. You should get one like cupcait's tumbles is adorable
-
smiffy I don't know ;)
-
ReidCarlberg other options for little-no internet include Bali and North Korea. In North Korea you also get freedom from decision making.
-
juliaferraioli I hope it is a small fluffy one
-
juliaferraioli no Hulu I will just imagine it's a baby polar bear and a baby penguin 🐧
-
TheChrisDuarte ReidCarlberg I had no idea it was so close! Also grateful to time in Australia for making me think 6 hour flight close.

pilky are those hedgehogs? are you shopping for my birthday present?
-
plragde can I give some of them only half a point? They don't deserve more.
-
plragde lol
-
Some final thoughts on code of conducts before I hope to never have to talk about them again.
-
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.
-
2) examples of unacceptable behavior are necessary. Include "not limited to". But anything that makes people uncomfortable is too vague.
-
A) because plausible deniability "I didn't know and I thought she would like it if I did that"
-
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.
-
I only speak at conferences with a CoC. We only include conferences with a CoC in techspeakdigest. We push this because it matters.
-
Have my stories, more from friends. Want to see better representation of minorities at conferences but I want those experiences to be GOOD.
-
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.
-

This by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is... just trust me. Read it. buff.ly/1EDdJRe /via NatDudley
-
Relatively certain the code I'm following in this Android dev tutorial won't even compile so y'know… that makes it extra fun.
-
I kinda like Android dev from an intellectual perspective but some aspects of it just seem so inefficient.
-
Like "here is this thing that almost everyone might want to do, yeah you do have to write that much code."
-
E.g. when you want to take a picture you have to allocate memory. What do these people thing that an Operating System does?!
-
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.
-
(I know there's another way to do this using a Service, this also has some downsides).
-
fatneckbeardguy they are? Unless you're doing x-platform C++.
-
fatneckbeardguy oh it's like, you have to mount the hard drive, check that happened, and make a file.
-
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.
-
atonal440 haha yeah maybe sometimes? Not my apps though, I aim for >90% unit test coverage ;)
-
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.
-
DevWithTheHair hahaha well I have my version /compiling/ which is… something.
-
DevWithTheHair yeah? I find common things on iOS are pretty straightforward but then you want to do something unexpected it's like "no"
-
DevWithTheHair oh yeah keychain that is it's own special thing.
-
DevWithTheHair I think on Android it's more prevalent but I am far from being an expert yet :)
-
DevWithTheHair generally harder to make things pretty, for sure.
-
DevWithTheHair and just like handling fragmentation is a lot of work.
-
louielouie atonal440 definitely true!
-
louielouie atonal440 although today's fight is with a local intent from a service…

-
Feministy I am sorry I will keep reporting back ;)
-
Other questions I have on this topic include "do you HAVE to have a poor grip on reality to be a VC or does it just help?"
-
Can we also talk about how often techies completely ignore data when it suits them to?
-
Feministy yeah it's not like that I still have the same clothes I had yesterday
-
Feministy I mean I put on clean sweatpants to celebrate, of course
-
plragde yes exactly. When we ignore evidence, we are being bold and innovating.
-
msfionatay yeah I agree they are not helpful to most of us
-
Men in tech make CLEARLY STUPID statements about discrimination, ignore evidence... Are they doing better due diligence elsewhere?
-
And if they weren't what would that mean? What would the ramifications be?
-
DurrantLuke yeah I know but techies do this whilst claiming to be "data driven"

Everything nrrrdcore has been saying about diversity work and visibility and tokenism.
-
Between jet lag/twisting ankle/8pm calls been working out earlier in day but today I got to do a late evening workout and it was AWESOME.
-
So many feels about nrrrdcore's TL now. The other day I had this interaction that was a bit... "Oh you are one of those angry feminists."
-
Yeah I am one of those angry feminists I guess he hadn't noticed because I hadn't disagreed with him yet?
-
Anyway had a shitty interaction that made me SO UNCOMFORTABLE and I am not calling it out because I don't think I can deal with the fallout.
-
If I spoke up I'd be a bitch. And I don't have time for that right now. So I am keeping my mouth shut which I guess makes me a hypocrite.
-
Basically visibility is this threat vector and obligation. I did not realize I what I was getting into when I started speaking my mind.

There is no Angry Internet Feminist manual we are all making it up as we go. And paying for it.

-
Not going to deconstruct in detail but google's latest "diversity" post is a bunch of PR+hot air like all their other "diversity" efforts.
-
1) unconscious bias training is not a magical panacea. What about those who are conscious and deliberate? Also quality of facilitators.
-
2) if your diversity effort relies on corporate feminism and thankless emotional labour your diversity effort is stupid and actively harmful
-
3) pipelining is intellectually bankrupt bullshit. If 40% of machines were going offline wouldn't focus on buying new ones.

sgwoods I know it exists but I did not find it prevalent and from what I hear not much has changed.

This castle bs... Couple of things on list make me wonder if they were trying to exclude women? Or if they just never thought about women.
-
indec ahh yeah they are harder because people mostly don't test. My app has >90% coverage though because I am obsessive.
-
Doesn't matter either way. Just an extreme example of commitment to homogeneity that we will publicly mock whist ignoring subtler things.
-
This bothers me because I think that the subtler things ultimately do more harm.
-
karamcnair yeah that and also women are more likely to use social media.
-
skamille yeah I have had my moments too ;) just more likely to rule women out based on makeup and social networking.
-
indec someone at etsy bought my workshop on that topic so I am convincing myself you will have such tests soon... ;)
-
aliciatweet oh yeah. The same people who tear apart that will uncritically report comments from a16z

danielpunkass oh interesting idea. I would believe that.
