You do realize you are advocating for minorities to do all the work? Carry the burden, deal with the trauma that gets involved, constantly have to work at navigating everyone else, while people in a spot of privilege don't need to do a

Sorry to hear that. I get it. I've been there. I reached a point where I was in a big company and got promoted to a level where there were no LGBTQIA+ people above my level - and this was at a FAANG company. All meetings were all strai

Wow. Just wow. So you are arguing that people from marginalized communities should just suck it up and stick to their own or constantly have to hide and adjust who they are to make others feel comfortable. I feel sorry for the people that y

What conclusions do I draw from this? Sorry to be so blunt, but my conclusion is that you are lacking a lot of understanding of how these things work. Are you really arguing that they can fly and move anyone in from any country as a means t

That's part of the problem. The other part is the networks you are tapping into to find candidates. People tend to collect others that look, act, and think like them. That's one reason why people group up into subgroups that all h

That doesn't work. There are some really amazing people out there that don't fit the typical tech mold of straight cis (white) guy. They don't stick around if they have to navigate a monoculture that doesn't understand t

This nails so much of the discussion that should be had. When using any cloud service provider, you aren't just paying for the machines/hardware you use - you are paying for people to take care of a bunch of headaches of having to

Thanks for the info - I have some similar use cases. How has the Postgres DB worked out for you with Render? I've been weary of using a relational DB in general since it's a single point of failure and really disruptive if your in

Is billing aggregation a problem and do you need to open up 10 different support tickets if all the accounts are part of an AWS Organization? As for keeping the number of accounts down, I've seen that blow up significantly if you have

I've worked with newbie programmers that think they are senior. I've worked with mid-level programmers that think they are senior and always ready to label others as being junior. And I've worked with really senior engineers
