I recently bought a domestic object. I also acquired another domestic object as a gift.
-
I think I am up to 4 domestic objects, or 3, depending on whether a bottle of wine is a domestic object or a decorative object.
-
Domestic object from Kusmeroglu and domestic|decorative object from ezilocchi. Hedgie notebook from JillWetzler!!
-
Is it weird to have more SIM cards than Domestic Objects?

Eulerizeit I am currently only using 3 of the SIM cards

RT willmanduffy:
-
willmanduffy OMG based on this slide alone I am cancelling my birthday party and coming to your talk.

Eulerizeit I am real like Carmen sandingo.
-
Eulerizeit depending on your lifestyle SIM cards can be more useful than domestic objects.
-
Eulerizeit I can't stop laughing
-
I really like the idea of being an imaginary friend. I think it's something I could be good at. eulerizeit/716098320742158336
-
Eulerizeit well then you may want to take steps to be untraceable.
-
Una do you follow places to see in your lifetime?
-
Eulerizeit this isn't an impulse escape then. India also is probably the one country I wouldn't return to alone.
-
Eulerizeit so I think what you are saying is take mafioso boyfriend to India and leave him there.
-
juliepagano yay 💜💜💜
-
Eulerizeit I mean, my type is selfish fuckwit and this is the logical conclusion. Also, no one will help me befriend a Grover.

Eulerizeit I haven't spoke to her recently which might be how things started to go wrong.

Eulerizeit but are they a selfish fuckwit tho

Eulerizeit Urgh I am done with programmers. And physicists. And ideally, men.

-
MIT is read through book chapter I wrote (in 2014) which is hard as for last 6 months my feeling on it is "never want to read this again."
-
I have realized that any kind of book is basically coming to deeply hate and be bored by your own work. Or maybe this is just me.
-
Anyway once I have done this I really NEVER have to read it again. NEVER.
-
jesslynnrose OSFeels no you didn't they extended the deadline to to April 4.

Yay MIT done and it wasn't so bad. In general my thought was "wow past-Cate really thought about this a lot and spent a long time on this".

I am will enjoy this brief moment of being pleased with past-Cate who is normally the bane of my existence and probably trying to kill me.

We need to encourage 5yo boys to focus on their critical thinking and organization of thoughts in their writing.

The question we must ask ourselves is why do so many men seem unable to contemplate view points other than their own?

Why is there such a dearth of empathy in writing by men? What explanation could there be? Clearly, we should Focus on The Pipeline.

-
One the one hand I love the techies project and I'm excited to read it. On the other I am so alienated by the idea that only SV is "tech".
-
There are people in there I am friends with, others that I just fangirl over! The stories I have read so far have been extraordinary.
-
But if you are doing a project about "inclusivity in tech" and it's only in SV, maybe add the qualifier "in SV".
-
I've worked "in tech" in 6 countries, 5 of them not the US, never in SV. There's a whole world out there, yo. And we're building stuff too.
-
rossgrady yeah I totally get that, and I think it's an amazing project - I just think the name should have a qualifier.
-
distant_highway omg!

r343l I just think they should clarify the name.
-

If you think a good boss rents his minion a Grover for her birthday, please let buritica know.

If that fails I'm going to Times Square to cuddle a full sized Grover. Nothing will stop me.

Night swimming on the roof is very beautiful but very cold and also the pool is tiny & if I don't pay attention I will concuss myself again.
-
I haven't concussed myself in water before but I imagine that would turn out worse than it usually does.

1) they are increasingly easy to get. 2) that makes it very hard to keep count.

If a code of conduct seems to have some glaring omissions, ask which of their questionable friends they are protecting.
-
Maybe don't ask it aloud. But know: that code of conduct is not there to include you. It's for plausible deniability whilst pandering.
-
This is why I don't argue about codes of conduct anymore. If there's a bad one I want it left as a warning signal.
-
Also I don't waste my time on people who don't want to listen.
-
At this point if conf organizer doesn't know what a good CoC looks like and made sure theirs conforms, well they have chosen not to listen.

One of the reasons I love client dev work is because empathy is part of our job. Why wouldn't we extend that beyond the user, to each other?
-
RT sailorhg: hey would it be helpful to ppl if i tweeted a short guide on how to write an email asking for mentorship?

RT sailorhg: .juliaferraioli just shared w/ me catehstn's post about it which is spot on: juliaferraioli/718512260637831169
-
RT sailorhg: the super short version: 1. provide context. talk about your background. mention how that person's work resonates with you.
-
RT sailorhg: 2. show you've done some research. if you know they've done interviews or given talks, don't ask questions that you could rea…
-
RT sailorhg: 3. be specific: if you have specific questions, you can ask them vs saying "wanna chat some time?"
-
RT sailorhg: 4. be respectful of their time and not entitled. for example "would you have time to meet?" vs "let's meet!"
-
RT sailorhg: 5. treat them like a person and not a resource.
-
Sorry for the barrage of retweets but sailorhg summarized my blog post on mentoring beautifully.
-
The kind of requests I get have improved a lot lately, and mainly I attribute to being less generally available but clear how to reach me.
-
Love interview w/ marthakelly, on coming back after being told she'd never make it as an engineer (prove em wrong!) buff.ly/1VCF6nC
-
If you want to talk to me you have to go via my admin and work with my schedule #sorrynotsorry. And you need to know what you want from me.
-
The mobile mentoring in February worked like that and it was great! Also % of PoC who I help in some way is higher now. Which is good.
-
sailorhg juliaferraioli I caught up on your tweet storm and it came out of a similar frustration.

javebratt client as in client-side development.
-
Even more radically, extend it to ourselves. E.g. no blame, address processes after failure. Because blame is the antithesis of empathy.
-
It's a pyramid. Empathy for ourselves, prioritize self-care. Empathy for each other, a functional team. Empathy for users, a good product.
-
Can you have the product without he other things? Idk, I have never seen it. Devs that treat each other badly tend to treat users badly too.

mipsytipsy dbsmasher skamille oh yeah I am just so used up by Friday night I can't do anything Saturday. So Saturday's I have adventures.

This week's blog post (poll):
-
When I write about management I do so from this perspective of being a woman in tech. Eg catehuston.com/blog/2016/02/24/thankless-emotional-labour-as-management-training/ catehuston.com/blog/2016/04/07/that-remote-work-think-piece-has-some-glaring-omissions/
-
And it's really jarring to me how in certain places this makes it "niche", is left out, when they regularly share Advice for White Men.
-
1) women half the population, so not niche. We can learn so much from other perspectives, been a bit benefit to me of international career.
-
2) if you want more women in leadership positions then those of us who have leadership positions sharing what that's like is helpful.
-
Anyway there are a few things I watch where I notice they make an effort to include content by women AS LONG AS IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING WOMEN.
-
My point: I think that content is relevant more broadly than to women. And also: how are they doing on other metrics of including diversity?

Get impression lambda conf is playing "not my circus not my monkeys" on the shitshow but hello this is your circus you welcomed the monkeys.
-
The "we were unfairly wronged by the SJW" bat-signal is a strategy of the "nice guy" who wants his enemies hurt, with plausible deniability.
-
"We care about free speech" & "we are trying to include everyone" appeals to groups of hateful dudes with nothing better to do than attack.
-
Every day that they don't take steps to end this, they allow it to happen. Now there's a list of targets.
-
Lambda conf and organizers are IMO culpable for retribution towards these targets. They have created this situation, done nothing to end it.
-
In fact have done things to exacerbate it - doubled down on the pseudo-intellectual gymnastics, expressed gratitude for the hate fundraiser.
-
Anyway, if you are on the target list and there is anything I can do for you, my DMs are open. Even if you just want to talk.

I feel like I have used a lot of emotional energy taking the high road with people who don't deserve it.
-
But the alternative is getting shit for "naming and shaming" which I did anyway because EVERYBODY KNOWS—because they were happy to name me.
-
Anyway nearly a year ago now I decided not to speak at a conf without a proper code of conduct. Somehow I am still dealing with fallout.
-
And let's be clear: I will not attend, speak at, or promote events the people involved are associated with.

Predictably, the latest form lambda conf is intellectually bankrupt drivel. I found it nauseating. ericajoy/719668774337531905
-
It equates people being unwilling to fly from Japan to Colorado with people being unwilling to be at the same event as a racist.
-
One thing that I worry about a lot as someone with some amount of visibility is "do I give someone credibility by being present?"
-
It's why I am so uptight about codes of conduct etc. Anyway here, once again, women and PoC being okay with the racist troll means it is ok.
-
Fuck. That. It's not okay. Also "inclusivity" is a show-don't-tell thing. Who are they "inclusive" of? I think we know.
-
Likewise you can't claim that a space is "not political" because there are people for whom showing up is a political act.
-
Interestingly, this applies to underrepresented people in tech and also white supremacists.
-
It's why in these situations, you have to pick a side. By being "neutral" they picked the white supremacist side.
-
I stopped reading before I vomited. reinh/719690709121368065
-
But I read that, think they still want to say they "neutral" because they can't choose between the identity of "good guy" and "science guy".
-
Bro - you are neither. Read a fucking book and get a fucking clue.

r343l I think his grip on reality is not strong.

davicorn tryswiftnyc is curated and I think Natasha has put together an amazing lineup!

davicorn tryswiftnyc you are extrapolating on data you don't have. No one knows better than Natasha who is doing great stuff in swift.
-
davicorn tryswiftnyc have you read her newsletter? It's not about knowing Natasha but having great work that people notice.
-
davicorn tryswiftnyc I would wonder if you can't prep the odd blog post how you would have time/content to prep an in depth talk.
-
davicorn tryswiftnyc I think cfps are great but not all conferences have to have one, careful curation (which this is) can be great.
-
davicorn tryswiftnyc every conf is looking for great speakers and it can be hard to assess on a paragraph long abstract how they will be.
-
davicorn tryswiftnyc putting on a conf is a massive amount of risk and to hedge that by only inviting people super confident about is fair

3) I don't need to pay $800+accom for the privilege of being a token. Which getting for event I'd never expressed any interest in felt like.

I have been thinking about him a lot since I became a manager. This guy did more than anyone to make me want to leave tech.
-
And returning, having the potential to do that level of harm to others, this is fucking terrifying to me. So I think about it a lot.
-
I used to dread speaking to him. If an eng on my team felt like that about speaking to me I would consider myself a complete failure.
-
I don't think any of them do but let's be honest I have very little way to tell without seeming like an exceptionally needy lunatic.

Literally every time I write something about not doing women in tech events someone notices me for this and asks me to do a woman event.
-
This makes me so mad because invariably they don't address my reasons for not doing it and want me to pay my own travel and work for free.
-
I have concluded doing these things is at best pointless and at worst harmful. And I try not to do things that are pointless or harmful. So.
-
If a second shift of thankless emotional labour was going to address systematic inequity in tech, we would have seen more progress by now.
-
The reality has actually been a slow slide in the opposite direction. Hence: at best pointless.
-
Then what it does to those who participate in it. A sinkhole of time and emotional energy and for what? Some bullshit corporate feel good?
-
I have so many better things to do than this shit I can't begin to tell you, especially not in 140 characters or less.
-
But anyway if you like my writing on inclusivity in tech you should know it's nothing compared to my actual technical work.

But no one talks about that instead we talk about women being women and doing woman events and I am so fucking bored of it I can't tell you.

ICYMI yesterday I am super excited about these tshirts (and supporting 2 awesome organizations) catehuston.com/blog/2016/04/25/just-say-no-to-thankless-emotional-labour-the-t-shirt/
-
On the stripe hiring teams thing, I see this as recognition that building a high performing team is hard, so why not acquire one wholesale.
-
Which leaves me with questions: if high performing teams are so valuable, why aren't managers who can enable a team to perform sought after?
-
I think this is because the skills to do this are unclear, and heavily dependent on context - specifically the organization.
-
So often companies get this wrong. Hire some white dude exec from one company, wonder why he isn't effective, after some period, fire him.
-
Why does this happen? His previous "effectiveness" driven by context, or maybe wasn't really effective because failing upwards is a thing.
-
(I am using "he" here deliberately.)
-
Anyway I am skeptical of this strategy which I think will be difficult for all the reasons integrating acquisitions is difficult.
-
And also because of the problems of homogeneity that we also see in acquisitions, that other people have pointed out.
-
But cheaper sticker price than an acquisition, so.
-
zenparty yep.

I am available to speak at android conferences about how appalling the dev tooling is in a hilarious and debatably useful way.
-
I would call it "resisting Stockholm syndrome in android development". Developers who have accepted their fate may hate me for it.
-
LittleMxSurly benefit of working remotely is I can cry wherever I want but actually it has made me angry but never cry.
-
My hot take on developer tooling: it should work and have documentation.
