"Men have different distribution of extremes, more dumbasses but also more brilliance, eg. autistic savants, which explains more CEOs and Nobel Prize winners, and therefore systemic sexism is a myth to deny biologically determined outcomes."

It's funny how you guys take some kind of pride in maneuvering what to an outsider obviously sounds like a dystopian-style bureaucratic nightmare of unevenly applied laws and insider-connections.
Rather than fight to change or improve this system, you gloat about knowing how to survive in it. So strange.

Literal quote: "They think they're getting a Cadillac, but they're getting a Toyota." Now the CEO-at-the-time has been charged with corruption and the Prime Minister is involved.
As a newcomer to the field, parent post is far more welcoming than the bevy of trash Ninja flavor-of-the-week bullshit that makes it seem impossible to catch up.
I only actually got my bearings and self-confidence as a programmer when I realized that most of the people pushing blogs with subscriptions about "cutting-edge" tech were literally snake-oil salesmen and shovel merchants.
That coding wasn't actually different from anything else I had learned in my life, and that there were some fundamentals I could latch onto, and grow from there upwards. All this nonsense about the field experiencing a revolution that upends all existing knowledge year-after-year is far more mentally taxing.
In fact, the thread on Twitter itself is even easier to read than this ThreaderApp link that some people demand.
The incessant bloviating from people who refuse to learn how to use Twitter is far more annoying tbh, it's starting to sound like old people complaining about the music being too loud, and it always derails discussion.
