Alice Averlong🏳️‍⚧️

I'm in the Telegard BBS config and the two options for "Gender" are "Yes" and "No"

This isn't the usual gender binary I'm fighting against

Things I wish got more attention in software:

  • A lot of software devs don't code because they love it, and a lot of people who assumed most developers love what they do have been living in a bubble
  • To drive that point home: yes, for many programmers, I'd say most in the industry even: it's a job, not something they take any pride in, no more than most people who work at McDonald's take pride in making hamburgers
  • It very much shows in software quality, which has been unacceptably low for a considerable period of time, but the floor as of late has gotten lower; we are approaching Windows 98 levels of low-quality
  • Even FOSS is now often governed by industry, big projects have a lot of people being paid to work on them
  • Smaller projects that are foundational but not considered flashy often rarely get any attention
  • Not enough people are really helping at the lower layers of the stack, and Claude is, unfortunately, filling that gap
  • There is a genuine pent-up desire for people to learn the lower parts of the stack, but it feels intimidating and it is still very much gatekept and hard to learn
  • If we want to have more humans writing software, more people need to be doing what I'm doing: mentoring others in this space and helping them learn the lower parts of the stack
  • "It was hard for me" should mean you help people up the ladder, not push the ladder down and say "it should be hard for them, too"
