This is useful to see, thanks for sharing. It mirrors my own experience. I came into this profession with a lot of energy, enthusiasm, and an open heart. Then I had a couple of experiences that triggered "The Great Noticing" in me. I haven't really been the same since, though I've tried to keep an open heart/mind and lean against the wariness that's come with experience. But mostly I try to stay away from SF, the PNW, and their geographically dispersed cultural outposts.

- datavirtue 6y agoEveryone comes into the industry bubbly. The corporate grinder doesn't care what your skin color is. Most of the older people I have known are traumatized and very guarded through years of getting jerked around by office politics. Witnessing the toxic shit that happens in groups of white people of similar background I have always wondered what utopia people expected out of being "treated equal." Meritocracies and healthy teams are very rare.
