> And being in this industry for 15 years, I have experienced very little harassment or racism. I see articles lately dealing with misogyny, but have yet to have to deal with that fortunately. Possibly, I am just lucky?
I think a moment of thought would be enough to conclude that yes, you are just lucky.
- spotman 11y agoMaybe it's because I do not use IRC hardly ever? I have worked at 3 extremely well known technology companies, 3 start-ups, and had dozens and dozens of consulting projects. I have managed teams between 3 and 40 people, co-ed teams, and have served all kinds of engineering roles. (I simply say this, as I do get around quite a bit, not trying to say anything other than that). Sure I have seen the occasional issue both online and in real life. But they don't seem specific to a programming language, it's usually one person out of line and the immediate surrounding community (employer, or forum) handles. Maybe this issue is not as wide-spread as people think? Would love to hear reports of toxicity in the golang community specifically. Or maybe people are in fear, and this is a preventative action?
