    Hiring rockstar developer! Must - work as hard as CEO for 0 equity - have side projects + green squares - use dark mode - 10+ years exp (but don't be old) - willing to work for less $ - put passion into every LOC and feel like it isn’t a β€œjob” - product vision, but don't disagree

    If anyone needed to hear it: I don't care about .dev domains or mechanical keyboards, I don't read Hacker News, I don't have a customized terminal, I don't spend all weekend coding, I sometimes use the Git GUI in my IDE, and I am valid in tech and so are you.

    Tweet from uncle Bob Martin: I had a fascinating conversation with a woman programmer some years ago. We compared our feelings about writing code. I told her it felt like hunting and bringing home meat. She told me it felt like nurturing something into being.

    Recently a woman I know was interviewing at a company in SF and she asked if they were doing anything proactive to improve diversity of the eng teams and they told her that was an aggressive question and it made them worried she was too "alpha" and "independent" for the job πŸ™ƒ
