shopping app in the US is indicative of a pattern of VCs ignoring industries that predominately serve women, even when those companies generate $$$$
SHEIN is the quiet Chinese quindecacorn

& I go DEEP.
the young people of tech just showed us that they can generate hype, collaborate remotely in 36 hours to ship something, raise $$$ for a great cause, while working in a highly diverse team......๐๏ธ๐๐๏ธ everything we know about working in tech is....a lie ๐๏ธ๐๐๏ธ
when i was new to tech i thought that that famous successful founders were all intelligent, calm, and rational people that should be looked up to. now that im almost a decade in, ive realized that most of those people are, in fact, huge babies
u fix ur jira board for the 3rd time this hour and take a twitter break. u see an egirl and DM her 'hi ur funny๐' for the 5th time this month. she doesnt reply. u tell ur friends what a hoe she is. after all, u've been coding since u were 15. ur the moral compass of america.
every time i speak to a recruiter i always ask them for diversity stats of their eng teams and of their eng leadership. they always say they will get back to me. no recruiter has ever gotten back to me
you HAVE to start ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ angle โจ investing. You cannot โ let the $5.56 ๐ธkeep sitting in your Chase savings account ๐๐. Main characters ๐๐ป donโt let friends ๐ฏโโ๏ธinvest in INDEX FUNDS ๐ฅต๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คข. They r for UGLY ppl ONLY!!! ๐คฎ๐คง๐ท

the dumbest and weirdest form of lifestyle creep i did not expect is needing to buy nice hand soap. i tried aesop one time and now im spending $39/month on soap. wtf is wrong with me
some personal news: last week was my last at uniswap ๐ซก after an incredibly LIT 2.5 years there, itโs time for something new!
so proud of and thankful for my time there. ive made some lifelong friends and learned how to build world class apps. love for uniswap always โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐ฆ๐ฆ
getting so many DMs from random men offering to help me with technical interview prep.. like no, honey.... if u battle me on leetcode u better prepare to lose
I would also like to personally thank my roommate
@itsmezhi
for taking an entire day to create fake screenshots of ๐๐๐ to generate more confusion. u da best
i know not everyone in tech can relate but good god, does it feel great to love where you work. to have a supportive manager and a fun team, to have little stress yet learn a ton, and to have utmost respect & trust for the leadership team. just a tiny appreciation post i guess <3
i once greeted a candidate to walk him to the interview room (where the interview would be conducted by.. me..) and he asked me if i was the office manager
this was a startup of 8 people. in his mind it was more likely that we had an office manager than a female engineer
#womenintech
true story.
A colleague invited me to a party.
One guy intro'd himself and asked me what I do.
Me: I'm a developer.
Him: Uh 'developer' can mean a lot of things. What do you *actually* do?
My colleague had to back me up and I explain that I do program at work.
running a startup truly takes an entire village of support and i didnโt fully appreciate the extent of that until this v difficult week. sending my gratitude โค๏ธ
every single time thereโs a tweet about something positive in Chinese culture the comment section turns into a racist shitfest and itโs so normalized at this point that this is the default expectation now
if i did one of those "a day in the life" videos it'd be like. wake up 6:30am. crack open a diet coke. code 12 hours with the worst sitting posture you've ever seen. doordash some mcd with diet coke. code some more. tiktok binge until my brain cannot stay awake anymore

@kleinerperkins
, fellow from '16 here. we pointed out the lack of Black peers in our class all the way back in 2016. You have had 4 years to make changes. We want to see real action items, not just platitudes on social media, esp given your troubling history with DEI
Hmm thing is most kids from โeliteโ schools and internships go to Grace Hopper for free (from corp sponsorships). Itโs the underserved students who end up paying thousands of dollars just for a chance to be seen at the career fair. This kind of inequality should be talked about
@YasmeenRoumie
Also, do you have any understanding of what a conference should cost? You are outraged by the price, sure, but what are you basing this off of? Itโs an expensive endeavor to get such famous companies in one place at this scale
making twitter friends is so weird but nice. i have no idea what any of u do. or live. or look like. but i probably know ur exact niche of humor and ur progression of tech liberalism to radical socialism between the years of 2017 - 2020

being a frontend engineer at a crypto company is insane in that you can go from debugging some elliptic curve cryptography math to working on css gradients in the same hour
when u spend 4 months on an article and the shocking insight u gather isโฆ that employees sent slack messages overnight ๐ when are we gonna stop writing dumb articles like these
NEW: April Koh built a $2 billion mental-health startup by age 29. Current and former employees tell me she led a fast-paced culture that created panic and fear.
Really hoping ๐๏ธ๐๐๏ธ isn't meme marketing for any app or network, but rather, social media performance art that satirizes elitist invite-only cis-male-dominated social apps and exclusive secret societies/clubhouses.
Genuine q: what is the protocol for when someone reschedules a meeting 4 times and you donโt want to meet anymore? how do you politely communicate that?
