Well put. I’m always amused by arguments of the form “but this isn’t just a tech problem” - people get so mad about limiting the scope to one’s own expertise and experience, but also accuse you of overreach when you try to generalize beyond it! Can’t win.
- gaius 9y agoI’m always amused by arguments of the form “but this isn’t just a tech problem” Well, it isn’t. You can’t take a problem that is universal to all workers in all industries as evidence that one demographic in one industry is discriminated against. And, it is easy to generalise: Workers on one side, bosses on the other.
- m00g00 9y agoNot only is it not just a problem in tech, it's not just problem for women and minorities. Focusing on tech is fine, but claiming there's a unique problem of demoralization, underappreciation, shit management etc. to only "marginalized people" is what makes this article highly questionable. All that "toxicity" applies just as well to white males in tech.
