3. Dear strange men, if you must correct me on the internet please state your qualifications first. Degrees, job history, type of experience, source of expertise, etc. You know, the things you expect from me when I talk about engineering 💅🏼

8. Behind every inclusion conversation that’s finally moving forward now are people who pushed and got nowhere, and usually had their careers hurt in the process. Credit them if you can, especially if they left—because this was often part of why.

9. Asshole men on technical topics: "RTFM!" Asshole men on other topics: "you must explain from first principles to prove you understand."

    My rant on why this isn't just uber and why no women in tech seem to be at all surprised by this shit show. cate.blog/2017/02/21/all-the-shades-of-unsurprised/

11. Increasingly confused by what Americans call "liberalism" because in Europe we call most of these things "human rights".

12. Amazing how companies obsessing over not "lowering the bar" for "diversity" happily lower the bar of basic human decency for homogeneity.

13. Made this observation to someone today and maybe other people also need is so here it is. If an organization cannot replace you then that is an organizational failure. Sacrificing yourself to that organizational failure does not fix it.

14. I think this interview question actually explains a lot about kind of women allowed to be successful at Google - buff.ly/2aozD1y

15. Question mainly for ICs, what does success look like for you? What is a successful day? Week? Month? Year? Do you set goals for yourself? What are they? So many questions but what it comes down to: I want to know what gives you a sense of accomplishment. (RT for reach? 💕)

16. I am so tired of the manifestbro. How about instead of retweeting this shit send under-indexed folk complements about their actual work?

17. I'm not saying all women in tech know each other, I'm saying there's maybe... three degrees of separation.

18. I really think this basecamp thing - like coinbase - was a stealth layoff. What does it say about tech cos that it’s better to play “thought leader in apoliticalness” than actually do a layoff? Wild.

19. So much misery at work comes from people who are better at playing politics than their actual job.
