The slow boiling frog parable seems awfully quaint lately. How about, the frog knows it is boiling, but it doesn't mind so long as you let it keep one eye on the temperature knob.

Even better: The temperature knob is in plain view; but with every "click", the frog is treated to a glimpse of a Toad being boiled alive. And the frog thinks "heh. Slut" or "heh. Racist".

OR, even better: With each click, the frog is treated to a glimpse of his King Frog being boiled alive in Toad piss, and the frog thinks: "HOLY poo poo OUR KING IS TOTALLY UNFIT FOR OFFICE, I KNOW THIS NOW BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN A SECRET TAPE OF HIM MAKING CONTACT WITH TOAD PISS"

this poo poo pisses me off as a Newbie in the IT world.

Tech nerds are already very insular just due to the fact that computers for a lot of them IS THEIR ENTIRE LIFE. The relatibility factor to the general populace is lacking.

Personally, coming from MXS and joining a cyber unit its been a tough adjustment and I work with genuinely good people (so far at least).

So to see that, on top of the already steep curve of learning the culture, good ol sexism, racism, and overall rear end hatery still persists at a high level is disheartening.

Especially considering that the tech world is NEEDS to become more diverse in terms of racial/gender/educational background.

Tech isn't diverse because guys like things and women like people, duh. Didn't you read the manifesto.

I've been doing IT for a couple decades now in various capacities. I've never seen women in leadership or hands-on roles (outside of extremely basic help desk stuff). I do hiring now and I never get a single female applicant for any infrastructure roles. I know my company employs a number of female developers though. And lots of female PMs, which is very common. IT is dorky as poo poo and full of sexism for sure, but it's a bunch of nerds being sexist. They don't really control anything. If there were suitable female candidates I'd hire them for sure.

And it's not like you need a STEM degree or anything. No one gives a poo poo about your education. If you can configure a router or harden a server, great you're hired. You know how to code? $$$$$. There isn't some big barrier to entry.

Most of the misogynistic people I've met in enterprise IT are usually in it for the money and aren't your standard nerds who love computers. Of course, most of my customers are government so I end up dealing with a lot of ex-military MAGA warriors.

I've definitely tried to hire more women, but they constitute such a small part of the IT and InfoSec workforce that it's difficult. I have noticed that women are much better represented in the software engineering and development field.

All the biggest mysoginists in business are over 45 year old men regardless of whether it's IT or otherwise. And most of them are MAGA fans.

Not too long ago I worked at a big financial services company where the senior managers and directors favorite thing to do when doors were closed was talk about how big the female employees tits were and whose dick they sucked to get their job. Older dudes are loving gross about that poo poo in my experience.

The I used to work for my university doing tech outreach and training to K-12. It's amazing how many women internalize well before graduating high school that they're dumb at this and never consider it a career. Hell, the intro to comp sci teacher at one of our feeder Community Colleges used to tell his classes that women were biologically predisposed to being bad at programming because :biotruths:.

If women never enter the pipeline because of sexist poo poo when they're kids of course there is going to be an absence of qualified candidates applying for positions.

Apparently there was an attempted military coup in Venezuela.

Only at one base, already been put down


quote:

Venezuela's armed forces issued a statement calling the rebellion an ill-fated "propaganda show" aimed at destabilizing the country and reaffirmed their allegiance to Maduro.

Authorities said the men were mercenaries working for a U.S.-backed opposition to bring down nearly two decades of Socialism in oil-rich Venezuela, raising the specter of a further government crackdown on dissent in coming days.

"These attacks, planned by delirious minds in Miami, only strengthen the morale of our armed forces and the Bolivarian people," said Socialist Party official Elias Jaua.

In Sunday's video, a man who identified himself as Juan Carlos Caguaripano, a former National Guard captain, said: "We demand the immediate formation of a transition government." He was flanked by about a dozen men in military uniforms.

"This is not a coup d'etat," added Caguaripano, who was removed from the National Guard in 2014, according to a document seen by Reuters.

"This is a civic and military action to re-establish constitutional order," Caguaripano said in the video. "But more than that, it is to save the country from total destruction."
