fwiw i think you were (mostly) in the right there

it's the same logic imo behind "we don't misgender quote bad unquote people"

if it's a shitty thing to do -- and imo attacking someone's physical ability is a shitty thing to do -- justifying it because you think the target somehow deserves it doesn't make it not shitty

it also makes anyone vulnerable to that behavior because others have decided it's justified, that they are part of whatever "other" group

(there are parallels here to death penalty or prison abolition arguments)

(also we have to hold space for the paradox of tolerance. nazi punks fuck off, etc.)

the only thought I have to the contrary here is that what AOC said ("maybe if you channeled this anger into swimming faster ...") can be read as critical of the transphobe's behavior and choices -- where she's choosing to direct her anger -- and not her physical ability

anyway

people sure can be shitty and defensive about it, huh

I hope you can take some time doing nourishing things away from the internet and feel better. all warriors need a break from the front lines, SJW's included

edit: this happened on a blahaj community? wow. I am disappointed in my peeps. otoh queer communities, like all besieged communities of vulnerable people, are understandably sensitive and kinda bitey toward anything that might threaten them. everything is complicated

it's one latte, michael. what could it cost, $80?

A "full-stack developer" is someone who can do front-end / UI work (HTML, CSS and Javascript or whatever the frameworks and tools de jour are nowadays if we're talking webdev), back-end work (APIs and "business logic" and all the stuff users don't see), and often storage and infrastructure work (manage databases, write and optimize SQL queries, put things in buckets, get your code running on AWS / k8s / a pack of gophers / whatever)

that is

someone who wears too many hats and isn't paid nearly enough by a company that doesn't want to hire 4 engineers

oh

i mean yeah their stance there is pretty bad

but idk if i would put them in the same class as nestle blackrock et al

ok buddy 👍

quantum services

take your source code and put each character in its own docker container

this gives you the absolute peak of scalability and agility as every quantum of your application is decoupled from the others and can be deployed or scaled independently

implementing, operating and debugging this architecture is left as an exercise for the reader

that will be $250,000 kthx

at least all those state actors will have to fight it out to control my system

and i have an excuse for poor application performance

The true test of a person's character is what he they do when no one is watching.
