For those who don't know, Github is currently the number 1 repository hosting service, it allows programmers to host their open source projects in order to share it with the world and collaborate with other members of the Github community. To put it simply, use their github profiles on their CV's as a measurement of performance, to show their contribution to other projects and their own projects.

So, the same company that has issues with the word "meritocracy" (because why putting effort in my skills when I can just claim that I'm a minority and automatically win?) issued a Code of Conduct that can be boiled down to "if you agree with our thought policing, you should put the code of conduct file in every project that you host in our website". They want to tell at a glance whether you're with them or against them in pushing the SJW/LGBTW agenda in the world of technology. You even have to be careful of the words that you use when you criticize someone for their code. Tim Hunt turns to be right at every corner, since now you have to be even more careful of what you say to avoid hurting feels.

Naturally, a post of a programmer disagreeing with the idea became popular https://archive.is/SeFrI and the comments burst in flames, some of those calling out third wave feminism out for its bullshit ideology, how you end up walking on eggshells, paying attention to your language and in case the other person gets offended and happens to be a woman or colored... Oh boy. What if you call Sue's code shit and thinks that you're doing it because you're a white male misogynist shitlord?

Guess what happened to the thread: Hidden and filtered. You cannot even search for the thread anymore. But leave it to the programmers to create another thread asking "why did the previous thread got delisted?" (update: even this discussion thread got delisted, in case you had any doubts) and the top response is:

My guess? The majority of comments expressed opinions that went against one of the mods' dogmas. Hilariously, hiding the thread vindicates the anti-CoC position the mods are presumably trying to suppress.

Not surprising. People are aware of it, and they don't like it. And, in case that you're also a programmer and you're concerned with the thought police that keeps getting stronger, always remember "Law 38: Think as you like, but behave like others".

As a software developer, I've definitely had to put up with sub par performers because of their gender. Management hired a woman who could barely speak English, was a not a good developer on top of that, and put her on my team. I ended up getting a job elsewhere because my workload doubled.

I'm in my mid 30s now, but I was made fun of high school for being into computers. Now that it's seen as socially acceptable, you want me to take my time to teach you, for free, under the guise of being "welcoming"? No thanks.

When I started my first programming job the senior developer, and my intended mentor, was a woman. I arrived on my first day and management was in disarray. The woman had quit suddenly and branch swung (if you will) to one of the customers thereby breaking her contract conditions and proving she's an opportunistic bitch with no integrity.

That's my brief experience with female developers.

WilliamBott 10y ago

Now that it's seen as socially acceptable, you want me to take my time to teach you, for free, under the guise of being "welcoming"? No thanks.

That's how I see it. You didn't like me before, even though I knew all about computers and could build one from scratch. Now that it's in vogue you want to come up to me asking for handouts/free lessons/hardware?

Fuck you.

Assassin1476 10y ago

Girls seem like they have a hard time taking a car out of park and putting it in reverse. I have no idea how they can even become programmers, good ones at that.

Stormhammer 10y ago

Yeah, knowing good developers that are female are rare. I know one of them, and holy shit can she write code, and she will definitely tell you if your code fucking sucks ( I've been the brunt of this, ended up learning how to do learner and more efficient code as a result )

... you really don't expect a 6'0 woman who wears high heels every day and drives a manual lifted jeep on swampers, dresses fashionably, to be a developer, and a good one at that.

I currently work with someone who used to work at the NSA. She's more or less a wizard.

Syriz_ 10y ago

I am just surprised that Git Hub now has moral policing? Wtf?

iq8 10y ago

When I did my internship for college (in Kuwait) I was put in a team of just me and three other fully covered (face covered niqab) women who knew next to nothing about programming. They literally never said a word to me except yes or ok. It was hell "working" with them.

EDIT: One thing, I think a girl being around some guys is good. They will be more competitive, they will smell better and overall youll get better productivity, regardless of the girls ability as a programmer or whtever.

Stormhammer 10y ago

Hire a girl who can actually program and watch your male colleagues suddenly code better, leaner and more efficient lol

someguysomewhere321 10y ago

If coding wasn't one of the higher paying careers out there these days with relatively low entry barriers for those willing to learn, in an otherwise shitty job market, with startups being perceived as cool as well, there sure as hell wouldn't be any women looking to get into it (except asians, which were always pushed towards STEM careers by parents).

Back in the days open source was the nerd elite and super unwelcoming towards anyone that didn't strive to excel at what they did. Not the most friendly environment, but it certainly pushed people to do their best in order to gain acceptance.

Redpillc0re 10y ago

Not the most friendly environment,

Friendliness does not create character, or great products. I wonder what's Torvalds' opinion on this, who is known to have a loud mouth and apparently has a profile on github (I hope linux is not hosted there, though).

[deleted]

skoobled 10y ago

Certainly interesting. Especially considering his reputation for irreverent bluntness (he named Git after himself). Also, Linux is maintained the old skool way and is "open source" only in the 90s sense. The Linux source on github is also only a mirror. It would be fascinating to see what would happen if he ever feel up against the SJW crowd. He's seen as something of a genius celebrity by people who don't even know that much about software

Cyralea 10y ago

Programming unfortunately has more of this than the rest of the IT world. On the consulting side of things women are incredibly rare. For good reason too, no one is going to hire someone that can tank your professional reputation.

Entry-level positions are a shitshow though. One of my clients hired a female Help Desk specialist that doesn't understand how folder shortcuts work. To think of all the dudes that could have been hired instead...

We hired a woman a couple months ago and every day she continually asks me how to do certain things after I taught her how to do so before her leash was cut. Same question every week, same "oh yeah now I remember" reaction. As you said, to think of all the men that know what they're doing who got looked over because "we needed a woman so HR doesn't get mad that we're the only department with zero woman now that we're 'global'".

[deleted] 10y ago

She remembers how to do it, she just keeps asking you to make sure she still has power over you. Woman continuously test and gauge how much of their bullshit you are willing to put up with. Give a inch, take a mile situation.

[deleted] 10y ago

No, she's just fucking stupid. She stopped me when I started getting short with her with a "I told you this shit 4 times" demeanor.

[deleted] 10y ago

"Getting short" is losing frame since it cause you react towards her. It would be must simpler to say you forgot as well, and ask her to teach you when she figures it out.

[deleted] 10y ago

She's also on another continent that I will see maybe once a year if at all so nothing of value gained or lost.

RemyPrice 10y ago

That's a very interesting perspective. Thank you for sharing it!

TheManshack 10y ago

This guy is right. I work in the services department of my company. I take care of all the servers, websites, employee computers, etc. as well as servicing client software & servers. Just a general IT guy.

The lead sales lady shit-tested me every single fucking day from the first day I started. She is a post-wall cunt. A few weeks ago I was in the sales office running CAT5 (completely redoing the network in the office because the last person that did it did a shit job) and I was wearing shorts & a shirt because it was 100 fucking degrees outside. She started bitching at me about my clothes being "out of dress code" saying "What if a client came in?!?" while I was in the roof. I walked down the ladder, handed her the 2000ft. box of CAT5, and said "Hope you can run cable and setup a network. I've gotta go change." and fucking left.

She doesn't dick with me anymore - she was way under quota that day because she didn't have network access.

As an IT Mgr at a college, I hired a newbie girl to open tickets, take calls, etc. She was 8.5-9/10.

Workload wasn't bad, she had free time, and actually learned to do stuff.

I just wanted my boys to have some eye candy 25 hours a week. Having her there helped morale, but calling a spade a spade...it wasn't a make/break position.

Cyralea 10y ago

Commendable, but pretty women are known to disrupt office cohesion. People drop whatever important tasks they have to shoulder the burden of the useless broad. Men are thirsty, don't need that getting in the way of efficiency.

recon_johnny 10y ago

She was a student who worked to get money to offset her student loans. She didn't have much to do, less than a month in we went to an offsite call center. She was there for two semesters.

All she did was sit, look pretty, and do her homework, unless someone walked in and needed help; then she pointed to the appropriate desktop tech/network guy. But, she had a really good personality, and was able to talk to the geeks. No-one stumbled over themselves. Edit: Fuck, these guys fucked around playing games and other stuff in their free time--which I was fine with as long as the work got done on time.

She sat outside my office, and added to the office dynamic instead of taking away. Probably one of the better hires I've done.

You're right though; it could have been bad. But, I would have gotten her out if that was the case.

zyk0s 10y ago

It could have, but it sounds like you knew what you were doing, and were a good judge of character. Don't apologize for it.

[deleted] 10y ago

[deleted]

recon_johnny 10y ago

Actually, I didn't 'hire' her, in the traditional sense. Colleges look for means to offset costs, my dept was sought out for putting someone in place to help, but really it's a place for kids to do homework. Fairly standard, my daughter is 'working' for the Police dept at her uni. Does homework most of the time.

This girl did do work, I had several reports she was responsible for each week--server status, SAN space/utilization, uptime reports--mostly bullshit stuff I had to do that I could offload.

But yeah, man. She was there to put a little binger to brighten your day. Having a good looking, genuinely sweet, nice, young woman around was a good thing.

But fuck it, I'm thinking I don't need to justify (even though I just fricking did). She was there and am happy for it. It worked for me and my staff.

Stormhammer 10y ago

Our SRP is female. Sweet as can be, friendly, knows how to get the relevant information out of clients.

But god help those clients if they try to walk over her - she is a goddamn spitfire if you push the right buttons. Once a client called in for an issue and we were all tied up, so she told him " sorry, no engineers are available, but I can make a case and have the next available one call you back." " Bullshit, why don't you get off your fat ass, walk down the aisle and fin-" "YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF IS WHAT YOU CAN DO!" -click-

Guy called back in to apologize lmao

Caveat? Us engineers are 700 miles away...

She gets shit done though, and she gets it done well.

cragtar 10y ago

Honestly, from your description, doesn't sound like she really even had a job to do... How can you screw that up?

You'd be surprised what people are capable of.

mrust 10y ago

We hired a girl who didn't know how to use a filing cabinet. She literally could not get her head around the idea that you put the paper inside a folder so that it's indexed. Even after it was explained to her.

She also had a habit of booking people's business flights on different days than what they requested (by a day or two) because the "flights were cheaper"

She lasted two years.

Really disturbing and not a good sign for the silicon valley that this kind of attitude is considered progressive. The shitbags are all riled up to prove that women can learn to program (the super vast majority can't ; only a small percentage can), yet they have no problem with uber or airbnb destroying millions of jobs worldwide.

Perhaps the tech industry needs to move out of San Francisco. Notice where all these companies that do selective censorship based on ideology are based..

From the meritocracy article about GitHub's 'United Meritocracy of GitHub' rug:

GitHub's Julie Ann Horvath, a designer who also founded the company's all-female lecture series Passion Projects, said the rug first became a problem when photos of it made their way into feminist discussions online.

Feminists hate meritocracies because they know women cannot compete. They know, deep down, that men are better at these kind of jobs, but they still want to reap the benefits of the work without actually competing, because how else is she going to take care of all her cats?

[deleted] 10y ago

Haven't you heard? Supporting meritocracy is a "microaggression" now.

https://archive.is/zMDUr

One of the largest categories of microaggressions are those that that promote the “myth of meritocracy.” According to the document, this “myth” is spread by statements such as “America is the land of opportunity,” “I believe the most qualified person should get the job,” and “Affirmative action is racist.”

[deleted] 10y ago

Affirmative action is racist as FUCK, whether or not you believe in meritocracy

Myrpl 10y ago

If you ctrl+f "meritocracy" on the first programming thread, you'll see some gems.

Oh my fucking God. I'm not a programmer because I was white and entitled. I'm a programmer because my mother could afford a computer and I spent all of my free time on it as a kid. Poor urban kids probably don't have the same luxuries. The schools probably don't have the same amount of Technology or classes or teachers available, making it harder for urban students to learn, not their fucking skin color. It's a goddamned social class issue, at the minimum, but it has nothing to do with the color of their skin or their reproductive organs.

Also, remember the top comment from the thread "women see the world as a persisting state" about how women view self-improvement. They just cannot comprehend that luck requires effort first, no. They take a shit down every successful entrepreneur, calling white males who succeeded in Silicon Valley (alongside Paul Graham) as "merely lucky for being white" and they are against merit.

Also, funny how only the white men are being blamed for being simply at the right place at the right time, as if the feminist who got an MIT scholarship because there's a male/female quota to be met wasn't part of that oh so hateful meritocracy, no. That's equality to them.

Yep, don't forget the African American Women getting into Harvard with 3.5 gpas, low SAT scores, and no extracurriculars. Meanwhile the Asian guy with a 4.2 gpa is declined because his ACT score was only a 32.

Kogster 10y ago

Most of the first generation programmers were women. Just pointing out that it's a societal thing and not biological. There are a lot of bad programmers but no one would ever hire someone who is male and bad.

whatgold 10y ago

Programming was different in the 1940's. Was more similar to being a telephone operator than a C programmer.

Men invented all computers and machines and taught the women how to do repetitive tasks with them. Was that your point?

This is partly what set off GamerGate. Corrupt SJW journalists trying to shame gamers into playing non-fun games.

pehpe 10y ago

I work in tech, for a company that openly hires females because wohoo girl power (I am male, and only 1 of 2, besides the owner. 6 girls, 3 males total including the owner).

We work with only magento ecommerce.

Here's how our dev team is set up:

1 female project manager, 1 female business administration/h.r. girl, 1 girl graphic designer, 1 girl who does design, 1 girl who does configurations (and tries to do backend stuff but doesn't know coding that well), and 1 new hire who started part time in November and turned full 3 week ago. 1 male who does backend stuff, and the male owner who does misc stuff, etc. I got hired to do backend stuff.

Here's the thing. I started 2 weeks after the new hire girl also part time. I started months / years after other people.

In 3 weeks I was surpassing the girl who did the configurations and tried to do coding. Within 3 months I was getting on level of catching up with the backend male developer. Now? I am on or above his level and he's a senior programmer. I digress though...

My point of all this is that the project manager lady, who is also the owners wife, is an open feminist and has stated that they like hiring girls. You want to know what else? I'm working for 31k a year in a job that other places would start in the 40s.

I'm making less money than the graphic design girl who doesn't even know how to set up a product in the admin. (I've heard her state she makes 37k). The new hire girl? She can barely do anything and since turning full time routinely comes to me for help. I'll tell her how to debug something or how to test to get to the root of the issue. She won't listen. Just today, I literally solved the problem for her but it wasn't good enough for her. Three days ago she somehow, in some (you have to be retarded) way, deleted almost an entire server while trying to UPLOAD files over FTP. I have no idea how, but yet again I was asked to clean up her fuck up. Although I'm looking for a new opportunity, it is just mind blowing incomprehensible that a girl like this is actually making more than me and costing the employer more. I highly doubt they are paying her less, besides the fact I know she is getting full health (I am young enough to still be on my parents). It's complete and utter bullshit, and that's why the only reason I am here is to get some more experience.

The other girls? I know theyre all making more than me, as one, who does the configurations has openly stated at one of our team lunches that one of her reasons for working here was "the pay is so good".

Just thought id share how incredibly fucked up these ideologies will turn a company.

Side note: girls are some of the worst at working with computers and programming. They have literally zero thinking or problem solving skills besides "this doesn't work waaaah"

makethemsayayy 10y ago

Get a different job where you're appreciated. Doesn't it disgust you while dumb bitches who you code circles around and could do each and every one of their job better get paid MORE than you??

pehpe 10y ago

It absolutely does. I'm currently looking to switch jobs to something that would double my salary and benefits. I have two applications out and I'll find out soon, although I don't think I got the one. The other is a different story as I have family connections (my father works there as a manager ;))

It sucks. I like what I do, but my employer fucked up with my pay by thinking I was naive enough to stick around. I may be out of college for a year but I'm not retarded.

[deleted] 10y ago

Bout to reframe the living fuck out of u homie.

The reality is that you are in a GREAT situation. Your boss is clearly an idiot and his company will definitely fail... But HIS FAILURE IS YOUR EPIC WIN.

You went from zero to competing with an experienced programmer in three months? YOU ARE FUCKING KILLING IT BRO. That is fucking amazing.

I can only assume that you must have had access to the surplus time and energy to learn those skills. All I have to say is, DONT QUIT YOUR JOB, MAINTAIN THAT ACCESS.

A higher salary is worthless in the long term. But MORE KNOWLEDGE???? Dude that shit is priceless, I'm not kidding, knowledge converts to dollars very easily.

If you're in a situation with access to the resources you need to improve your knowledge, you are in an INFINITELY BETTER situation than you'd be if you made six figures but had no time to learn.

Your boss's idiocy is your opportunity. KEEP TAKING IT, because it's smart as fuck. Worry about salary later when you have all the knowledge you need.

pehpe 10y ago

That's a positive way of looking at it and was encouraging to read. I know what you mean 100% and will be out of there by january of next year, come rain or shine. I refuse to be played like this, and worst case, assuming my other current options fall through, I'd make more money working for myself. I've learned A LOT.

The best part? You're 100% right. There's a new version of the software coming out that is completely different and, there is training that they are mandating that I do everyday :)

tl;dr you're right. I'm set.

neptronix 10y ago

Leave and let them fail out of their incompetency and sexual discrimination. You are probably the only pillar holding that company up, lol.

pehpe 10y ago

I will.. once I have a new job! I've already had two interviews, one of which I bombed because I was so desperate to get out of there, and the other they told me they basically told me they couldn't afford me (because, as I stated in my OP, I basically make 10,000 (+ benefits) under what an entry level person would make to the field I work in). They didn't know my salary was so shit that I would have actually made more there, and I didn't know how entry level it was.

I have two applications out now which I have a good chance with tho for one of them as my dad is a manager there :)

makethemsayayy 10y ago

Why the FUCK do people give into these fucking clown sjw's? Isn't it time to fucking tell them to shut up now? Tell them to fuck off and that they have perpetuated racism and sexism more than any other movement?

NidStyles 10y ago

They don't give in. SJW's simply invade everything. If they see a business that doesn't cater directly to their demands, they start working their way into the employment and up the management chain to change it. Remember how Chick-Fila had that anti-gay thing a while back? Well every Chick-Fila in my city now has a staff loaded with gays and SJW's.

I have no idea how they organize, but it's obvious that they are. Their as bad as the damn Gestapo.

JollyO 10y ago

If you're interested in the strategy read Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals."

I don't need to. I figured it out their strategy a long time ago(natural Machiavellian). Where they get together to organize is the only part I don't know.

WAFC 10y ago

I'd have to see your Chick-Fil-As to believe that. Every single person to serve me at any CFA has been a clean-cut christian teenager.

lickemandSTICKem 10y ago

Yeah that sounds more anecdotal to me than anything. I too only see clean cut Christian teens and young adults

NidStyles 10y ago

Hey I thought they were too, until one of the dudes behind the register hit on me. Then as I was sitting there watching him interact with the other workers, it was obvious that they were not straight males. So when I am leaving, I check out their cars, and bam on the back of all three employ cars (there were only three of them in the store at the time) are little rainbow flags. Your car will say more about you than you think. So I started going to a different one across town, and 5 out 7 cars I have seen in the parking lot when I go have rainbow flags on them as well. I go late during the weekdays, because I lift late at night.

These guys are organized some how, and I have no idea where they do it.

NidStyles 10y ago

How did you come to that conclusion?

sadleaf 10y ago

They follow the Antonio Gramsci manual for the 'new' left. Instead of doing the revolution with weapons like Russia in the early XX century, they now infiltrate in academic sectors like universities, media, even the church and then doutrinate or brainwash kids to be reprogrammed into new sjw soldiers.

It's really terrifying, EVERYTHING is connected. From hollywood to harward university, political parties and stuff. They act like robots doing what they are programmed for. Usually, nobody but the heads of the movement knows of their true intention but they keep repeating it anyway.

Just ask yourself if you truly believe that most of the feminists know the real consequence of feminist. Basically all material presented here in TRP is very well known by these SJW heads and social engineers and they are being used to disrupt the society as a whole.

There's an old documentary called the agenda which kinda explains this sjw movement, even though the documentary is alittle but old.

throwaway320_ 10y ago

I'm really glad how skeptical TRP made me of pretty much anything by some big organisation. From learning institutions to media, you can see an imperative being forced upon you. However, because it's all around us, the unplugged will never know that by using a bunch of common sense and logic, you can easily see through the deceit.

NidStyles 10y ago

It can't just be through education, as that is not directly effective enough to keep people on task. Hollywood is obviously occupied, but most kids these days don't even watch TV in my experience. They spend their time playing videos games.

To be honest, there appears to be a select group writing their policy. A select group that has been known throughout history to be culturally subversive and manipulative.

sadleaf 10y ago

I'm talking about the earliest stages of school, like kindergarden. Teachers are influencing our kids deturping values of right and wrong. History books are being rewritten hitting capitalism and showing how glorious marxism is.

Seriously, just read the kids history books. They may not watch tv and only play video games, but they need to study for their tests and since they won't pursue a second opinion in a lot of areas, all they will know is the SJW position.

If they infiltrate in academy, the new students which will be teachers in some years will leave it already doutrinated. These false knowledge will be passed on to our children by these persons and they cycle is only going to get bigger and bigger. This is Gramsci objective.

I'm talking about long term, something like 50 years from here.

NidStyles 10y ago

My school experience was different, but it was also like 15 years ago, so I can see that.

throwaway320_ 10y ago

They spend their time playing videos games.

Guess which media the SJWs are setting their claws in these days.

NidStyles 10y ago

They are all over Comics, and most other popular culture mediums already too. It makes the new comics literally unreadable with how dumbed down they are now.

SnoopKittyCat 10y ago

Sjw use the same method that jews/zionists use to infiltrate every level of every institution in a country. No wonder that in France every single anti-racist, feminist, gay defence association are ALL created/run by Jews. It's disgusting. People need to swallow the red pill for that too.

SnoopKittyCat 10y ago

I certainly do not deny the genius of the jewish community but I can see you don't live in France, they elevate "crying" to an art form and as their main method to impose their will. Most jews in the medias etc... get there certainly not because of their hard work and talent but by cooptation.

[deleted] 10y ago

I agree with you about the omni presence of jews in all power structures and the nocivity of their Influence peddling But I think that in reality its the opposite:

It is not SJW that imitate Jews.

From what I know, Jews grow in an environment where they are teach that they are perpetual victims of an evil world, that got no rational explaination about why some people hate jews (in fact not all jews but the jewish mobs), it is always the fault of the non jews, jews are innocent. They also often grow strongly dominated by their mother. And given all those facts people should not be surprised that many of them behave like SJWs

SnoopKittyCat 10y ago

just to be clear, when I, and most people, say things like "jews rule the: chose: financial institutions, Hollywood, medias or whatever, it's about the jewish elites, not the average jewish guy who go to his 9 to 5 work.

The powers that be have been doing this for a long time. Everyone points the blame in a different direction.

The powers as I see them that have had major influence in the last 2000 years are (loosely using words since none of us have a clue)

The jews/zionists/whoever. The catholics/vatican/roman catholics. Probably throw Arabianesqu people in there someone.

I am not grouping these people as wholes. But just look at how the catholics funded hitler. How jewish decent taught hitler and stalin what they know.

Why would hitler go after jews to take over the world? Because they were his most fierce competition.

Idk. That is how I see it. Either way the rabbit hole is fuckin deep.

SJW's are trying to destroy github and the tech industry, but the awesome thing is, someone will just create a new version of Github, and tell the SJW's to fuck off.

Randi harper is single handedly killing off the FreeBSD community.

You can also tell GitHub to go fuck itself and host your own git server using GitLab. You could easily make a Github alternative using that.

TheRealMewt 10y ago

Hate to break it to you, but if Github has a successor that starts off not pandering to SJWs, then they will eventually cave to the very people they made a policy to not conform to. It's the vicious cycle of tolerance.

Ironically, the very person responsible for creating git (which is essential to their service) and Linux, Linus Torvalds, is automatically dismissed by their "feels over reals" standards.

I can't wait for SJW's to attempt to take a shit down one of the most important people of the century just because his feedback is "too offensive", because he explicitly states that his priority is results over feels. Let's see anyone who values feels over results to handle the maintenance of Linux.

For those who're not familiar.

Those quotes though:

"I'm not a nice person, and I don't care about you. I care about the technology and the kernel—that's what's important to me."

"the most important part of open source is that people are allowed to do what they are good at" and "all that [diversity] stuff is just details and not really important."

He really doesn't give a shit about SJWs, because he knows that they don't contribute to or even use Linux.

Ironically, the very person responsible for creating git (which is essential to their service) and Linux, Linus Torvalds, is automatically dismissed by their "feels over reals" standards.

I was just about to comment that: how ironical that Git's creator is a guy who says things like:

"I don't respect people unless I think they deserve the respect. There are people who think that respect is something that should be given, and I happen to be one of the people who is perfectly happy saying: 'no, respect should be earned. And without being earned, you don't get it.' It's really that simple."

Here's the video. Good example of frame control. His talk about Git is also worth checking out. Hilariously straightforward attitude.

Umm... what, exactly, is the barrier to entry to giving your time away for free to program? I'm at an honest lost here for how anyone could possibly argue that they're being oppressed because they don't choose to put their energy and time into programming and freely giving away the results.

I'm trying to understand the argument here, not the underlying SJW motivation, which is obvious.

Assuming her criticism is off-base (I mean come on, we're talking about Torvaldis her), this is a sheer absurd level of hypocrisy. How do you even begin to disparage a guy who was on the front lines for the work you did to receive an accolade? Especially in a time where Apple and Microsoft were all about proprietary ownership. He could've gone the same way, but decided to take a different route and empower the masses.

I know lots of black people. I only know one in tech. Although he does work for Google, which makes him a pretty rare unicorn.

IllimitableMan 10y ago

Their culture is a product of their genes, not the reverse.

Simply put: black people have lower IQ, but superior physique. That's why you see hardly any white men on the NBA court and hardly any black men in astrophysics or computing. 2% of whites have 130+ IQ. With blacks, only 0.1% of them have an IQ of 130+. The funny thing is, a lot of the smart guys who people will claim are black aren't even fully African. Neil deGrasse Tyson and Obama aren't hot-blooded Africans. They are mixed race.

It is what it is but bitches who can't handle reality are gonna cry racism because that's easier than accepting the unfair nature of reality.

Another fun fact: Blacks have the highest average testosterone level of all the races (explains the crime rate.) Google this shit, the data is there.

barryberry 10y ago

I'm not that worried about the destruction. The great thing about community coding is that everyone can see your code and can tell if it is shitty or not. Even if you are not allowed to say it's shitty because you might offend someone it's still shitty and it won't be used or doesn't get merged into the project. Standards for code are not going to change because of a code of conduct.

It is just too bad the industry is full of SJW's that feel the need to put time into wasted efforts to get women and other minorities into coding. This time could also be used doing something productive.

reasonableman1 10y ago

Wait.

Yes people will be able to see if your code is shitty or not, but plenty of people won't be able to say anything about it for fear of ostracism or worse. And another half of the people will be so brainwashed that they won't be able to tell that it is shitty and if it is blatantly bad, they will blame the patriarchy or white oppression.

zyk0s 10y ago

Standards for code are not going to change because of a code of conduct.

Hopefully not, but don't be so sure about it. SJW like to infiltrate everything, all you need is for them to be in a position of influence and they can start accepting patches from people they like and rejection them from those they don't. The damage will be done before people have time to realize what's going on and do something about it. It's certainly recoverable, disgruntled people can leave, fork the existing work and remove the trash, but it will hurt those projects.

SeekingTheWay 10y ago

99639 10y ago

SeekingTheWay 10y ago

and you could certainly count me in one of those guys. i was just making and obviously stereotypical joke.

magus678 10y ago

All the men who I know in long term relationships do the cooking.

I myself am nothing special, but I have probably only dated a handful of girls I would say cook better than I do.

Most of them seem to have some weird pride in not cooking. It's in the same tone they mention not knowing about computers, math, or world events.

[deleted] 10y ago

I only know one couple where the woman cooks better than the man.

skoobled 10y ago

I've never dated a western girl who had any cooking ability whatsoever. Likewise, when my parents separated, I quickly discovered that my father was a better cook than my mother, and seemed to enjoy it also. Essentially feminism has ruined the basis whereby women could actually even contribute something other than their vagina to a relationship: by men staying out of domestic work, women had something to offer. When they start taking perverse pride in doing nothing, men just shrug, learn it themselves, and often learn to enjoy it also

paradimeshift 10y ago

I've always thought about where that pride comes from. How can someone ever be proud of their ignorance?

magus678 10y ago

What I actually think?

I think that women both want to date, and want to be, caricatures of real people. They are so heavily influenced by trends and media that they simply adopt whatever archetype they wish.

Since most popular archetypes don't include things like math they will gleefully announce ignorance of it, almost as a celebration to herself of how well she is playing the part.

Real people accrue a mishmash of skills and interests that are sometimes even dichotomous; this reflects the growing process. But people living as these caricatures will truncate their past to more expertly emulate the chosen character.

Unless of course, the character can have "former nerd" or something in its background (so meta!)

paradimeshift 10y ago

Your comment has made me realize that many woman don't cook because they're acculturated into an environment that doesn't value those skills. Stereotypical example:Russia where woman learning to cook a good meal isn't seen as repression, but rather expression of creativity,love and respect for another in the relationship.

Both me and my Dad have learned to cook adequately. Not for anyone else, but for ourselves. When my dad got married, he wasn't whipped, he let my mom cook for two months and then got fed up with the shit quality. Ever since then he's been making dinner and mom cleans up. My dad likes the arrangement since he genuinely enjoys cooking for others and demands equal favors back. It depends on perspective. I enjoy cooking, but not every day. When I marry, my wife had better be a better cook than me, because I'm not coming home from a long day achieving goals only to have KFC waiting. Perhaps I need to look outside the West for this.

Azzmo 10y ago

The notion in your post is worthy of its own thread. It's something that we all know in the back of our minds but never quite verbalize so eloquently as you've done here. And men are guilty of it, too.

It's a natural human inclination to be inspired by something and to emulate it but now that's become a cultural trap that we gladly march into, probably because we're primed to respond to it by the commercialism of the society we're raised in.

f3yleaf 10y ago

I had a look into Geek Feminism, which is prominently mentioned regarding the code of contact among major open source projects like Django, Python & Ubuntu.

They have a page on recruiting women, which states:

Some of the reasons projects might want to recruit more women include:

*A sense of social justice or that it is the right thing to do

*Want graphic designers, documenters, or people with "people skills", and think women will provide that

*Believe that having more women in a group will make the men behave better

*Think that a diversity of interests and experience will make for a better or more interesting event/product/whatever

http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Recruiting_women

When you have to resort to alternative routes to recruit otherwise unavailable candidates of specific races and genders, it sure as hell leads to reverse discrimination, overpaying to hire specific races or genders and accepting otherwise unqualified candidates just to appear progressive / to meet diversity quotas.

Those with actual skills that merit their hiring must be pissed that they're seen as just another affirmative action hire that was just barely good enough.

cocaine_face 10y ago

Doesn't that increase storage requirements significantly?

OrpheusV 10y ago

Somewhat, but not to a degree that it'd be a concern. Considering how much hard drive space has increased in the past few years, if there were size concerns, they aren't a worry nowadays, considering 2TB hard drives could be had for $70 or so if you look hard enough. Your concern would carry more weight a decade ago, and I do agree otherwise. Obvious caveat for 1TB+ projects, but those are incredibly few and far between...

That is one of the downsides, is that you have to get all the files and the revision history/diff for each one at each revision, which can take up a lot of space. Thankfully diff files are fairly compact.

LoveLord1000 10y ago

You're confusing github and git. github is a company that makes it easier to store things using git. But git can be used completely independently of github, and in much the same way as mercurial.

Basically what they were saying was... if you're a white male that hasn't been in the military, we're charging you $500 extra in the name of diversity.

[deleted] 10y ago

I've noticed this is a growing trend. One of the biggest tech conferences in the Midwest, Strange Loop (yes that Strange Loop) has "opportunity grants" specifically for these groups. Whatever, the conference can do what it wants, but I don't have enough privilege to cover the nearly $1000 fee every year (for the general conference and all preconf sessions). Granted, some companies will cover this cost for their developers, but many won't, especially since the conference is eclectic and not geared toward any specific technology stack (which limits its appeal to employers that are invested in specific stacks).

Yeah totally, all those Asians and Indian programmers just claim they're a minority and bam that's all they've got. Totally, nerdy Asian programmers are incompetent minorities!

You definitely could have made your point without the minority bashing. In tech, there are lots of skilled minorities.

What's more, hiring is so overboiled that you could be a fucking Martian but will get hired in a heartbeat if you can demonstrate the requisite skills

Yet another reason to switch to Bitbucket.

I remember the discussion thread where they tried to get someone removed as a contributor to a project because of his twitter account. What a joke.

There is no racist, sexist, privileged, straight, gay, cis, or offensive code. There code that works well, and code that doesn't. It's the great equalizer that allows anyone to contribute and become part of a project and improve their skills.

I'm afraid if the SJWs get their way, that whole idea will be ruined.

C plus equality

Interestingly, this CoC thing is probably to have unified stick to beat future mock feminism with.

Every centralised structure is a target for SJW.

Git hub is too centralised. It is time to create another GitHub.

Here's a recent article about a decentralized github

http://blog.printf.net/articles/2015/05/29/announcing-gittorrent-a-decentralized-github/ (with the corresponding github -yeah- repo: https://github.com/cjb/GitTorrent/blob/master/README.md )

I think this topic already surfaced recently, and I discovered this article then (maybe from here?).

It seems as though every popular internet community is in the process of putting SJW ideology into policy. It will drive a lot of people away into the arms of an alternative community.

Only the people doing actual work.

No way all the competent people could form their own communities and make the meritocracy even more exclusive.

I work in an entry level IT position doing T-SQL and help desk type things. We have one woman on are team who was formally trained and seriously knows her shit. (better than me even)

But another that was employed here for almost 8 months was an utter waste of space. I know she was making more than most of us. She came in and spent most of the day making small talk and flirting. (recently divorced with two kids..) Everyone's ill feelings were ignored at first on the basis that it must be a gender thing, give her more of a chance. Long story short, the manager(male) that hired her got booted to another department and the next manager(female) canned her ass so quick.

Unfortunately, there's no real alternative to github (yet).

A fundamental concept of control theory is the master/slave relationship. Guess where the fuck that came from.

I'm not convinced that these developments say anything more than "don't be an asshole", which is, in my opinion, a perfectly reasonable thing to request.
