I used to think I could "accomplish" my way to not being credential checked, or assumed not technical. But that will never happen. So I brush dudes back.
Credential checking is exhausting, and can be avoided with one simple question: "How much do you know about [X]?"

Probably shouldn't be a manager if you don't know the difference between mentoring and harassment. 🤷♀️

I don't understand how tech companies pay so much for their employees but then don't give people the space to actually work effectively.

And @thejessleigh is also bringing hot takes 🔥 Don't rely on your ORM, try to do everything in raw SQL first. It stretches your SQL muscles, you get comfortable in your db shell, and it gets you familiar with your data (but PR code that follows team standards) #DevTogether

Like any hiring manager knows there is no one harder to poach than a woman in a ~mostly unabusive environment whose salary is at least ~equal her least competent male peer. – at Cork, Ireland

Welcome to our 1st Twitter chat! We’re taking a page out of the @CodeNewbie handbook (bc imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right??) and we are so excited to talk with you all! We’re kicking off #NationalMentoringMonth talking about what we hope to gain from mentorship

there is plenty of evidence that for *decades* women have been systematically removed and erased from tech.
if you aren't seeing us (in the workforce, in job applications, etc). maybe ask yourself why instead of blaming the women.
