@joropeza No actual data, but the number of remote postings available for junior devs is tiny compared to those for in-person.

Most employers may not want their team to burn out, but a lot of them definitely want to keep doing the things that lead to their team burning out.

And actually, I think “assume good intent” serves a third purpose: it gives a pass to people who witness bad behavior.

More specifically, it gives them an out: an excuse to not call out malfeasance and to not be an ally.

It makes it okay to leave somebody to struggle alone.

aside: the "why aren't there more women in tech?" question should really lead to the "why don't men know the history of tech?" question

computers used to be measured in 'kilo-girls', after all

the answer is, and continues to be "women are pushed out of tech by men

managers: I honestly wanna know - when someone is performing above their level, why do you tell them “6 more months” for promo - especially for POCs? did you forget time isn’t a renewable resource? make it make sense

[Whitney Hahn @whitneyhacks]

Well this is certainly a whole mood 🔥

If you have a "Senior Front End Dev" who doesn't know what `grid-template-columns` is, I hope you also have an equally paid "Senior Front End Dev" who does, without the expectation they know about the Redux connect() function

@kosamari If you’re ever in Portland, I’ve spent the last year perfecting my German style sourdough. Happy to give you a whole loaf and the recipe 🍞

@TheNicoKoenig Deciding on a pattern/architecture for a new project, refactoring in a large/complex CSS codebase, calculating selector weight (what “wins”), and how to advocate for CSS/FE concerns in a business context 😘

[Whitney Hahn @whitneyhacks]

@kriesse @Sareh88 - “good” CSS isn’t necessarily “DRY”
- prefer less specific selectors when possible
- responsive doesn’t mean “pixel perfect”

[Ceej "oh well" Silverio @ceejbot]

A team that has 100% of its time filled with tasks to ship is a micromanaged team that is going to burn out. To make things worse, it won’t be able to do the basic maintenance work any system needs.

The long-term effects of this will be visible years afterward.

@eranhammer Maybe I’m misunderstanding your point, but don’t unpaid internships and OSS both create opportunities largely for people already over-represented in the tech industry?
