You seem to be making the same mistake than people who say democracy isn't the best system and yet you fail to understand that is the best system we have so far

You seem to be making the same mistake than people who say democracy isn't the best system and yet you fail to understand that is the best system we have so far. A meritocracy in tech would be the same case, its not perfect but it would be far better than the current system were talented but socially unskilled coders from any group are at a disadvantage.
- DanBC 11y agoMaybe. But I think you're not realising that when people say "meritocracy" they almost always use that to say their hiring practices do not exclude people who aren't young white men with not disability, when in fact trivial examination of their practices reveal plenty of exclusion. People claim their system is a meritocracy when it clearly isn't, and so now the term is poisoned.
