the gross thing about assuming all women in tech are dealing with impostor syndrome is that lots of men take it as permission to position themselves as your mentor rather than your peer

escape room concept:
- you are a software engineeer
- there is a production issue related to a legacy codebase
- no one knows how it works

- there's some printouts of git diffs
- you have an hour to fix this
