Personal identity is a deep, and deeply meaningful, subject: at some level, what’s more important than what makes you you? Paradoxically, throughout history and across cultures, often personal identity has been a social construct, tied closely to tribe, clan, family, ethnic group, race, caste, class, societal role, and so on - usually in opposition to some Other (“I’m a Capulet, not a Montague”, “I’m a proletarian, not a bourgeois”, etc.)…. ⌘ Read more

Women’s History Month spotlight: Honoring women developers ⌘ Read more…

I can’t believe it’s controversial to say “somebody with a 30+ year history making women uncomfortable shouldn’t be in a leadership position”. That’s not “cancel culture”, it’s just friggin’ obvious.
