One of my co workers wears a gray hoodie every day, but is the only person that constantly gets told that she doesn't look like a dev. Just happens to be a black woman. Seems pretty annoying to me.
- bitwize 11y agoIt could well be annoying, but if she produces good code and gets accepted as a dev (and gets paid the same, etc.) it doesn't rise above the level of annoyance. Me, I'm annoyed that I look like everybody's nerdy whiteboy dev stereotype. I'm a grown-ass man. Yes, I can see that R-rated movie; I actually remember when PG-13 wasn't a thing. No, I don't have a student ID; college was a long-ass time ago and I'm glad it's over.
