“Coding is a brutal 24/7 job” bro you’re just pressing buttons

Sure, coding sometimes can be a massive pain in the rear end and there are times when you're on a roll and it's better to keep going for long hours rather than calling it a day right at 5:00, but anyone who honestly calls it a brutal 24/7 job is an idiot who shouldn't be allowed to program anything more complicated than a turtle or maybe a CYOA game in QBasic. Trying to claim that women aren't cut out for the job is just comical

yeah, and before "computers" as we think of them were a thing, they were literally just a bunch of women doing calculations by hand lol.

Absolutely, women were key in developing the earliest digital computers and programming languages. See Grace Hopper and Jean Sammet

i kind of dislike the way the fact gets trotted out since it is so easy to just view as a token admission though. programming has historically had a lot of women, and i don't believe it is an accident that it became male-dominated as it got to be ridiculously overpaid.

When Elon Musk fully acquired Twitter, there were people cheering that free speech is saved while others were moaning about his plans for the "Public Square of the Internet".

However, my biggest concern for his acquisition of Twitter is that he still has factories in the People's Republic of China. He has this "Thug Life" attitude towards American politicians but has to be a "good boy" to the Chinese Government or else they will seize all of his factories in China.

Regardless of your political leanings, we should all hold Elon Musk to sky-high standards. Him still having factories in China makes me incredibly concerned for the Anti-CCP Movement.

What if he starts removing "State-Affiliated Media" labels on Chinese diplomats, ambassadors, state media journalists and reporters that are actively and aggressively smearing other countries while they try to glorify the Communist Party's crimes & inflate the shiny but frail facade of China?

What if he starts taking down accounts that are outspoken in their criticism against the Chinese Government's crimes & said accounts are just journalists, YouTubers, artists, and other dissidents, but also high-ranking politicians who like President Tsai Ing-Wen, UN Ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya, and many others who loudly oppose the bullshit influence of Chairman Winnie the Flu?

Or worse, what if Elon starts taking down local politicians that are quietly refusing to kowtow to China and its puppet agent friends?

We should be on high alert on Elon Musk's compromises as he is already walking a tightrope. It will be a colossal lose-lose for him. He flips Chairman Winnie the Flu the bird, all of his factories & IP will be stolen arbitrarily. He flips those who oppose Xi Jinping the bird, US Congress will come knocking at his legal doorstep with the FBI.
