when I read technical content with too much jargon my brain just turns off. 🥲
so many tech words look and sound exactly like existing English words but completely repurposes them. digesting the content feels doable in theory, yet it also feels so inaccessible.
more thoughts:

😭 i hate when people make content on "breaking into tech" when all they did was get a good CS degree and get a return offer from their internship. like bruv you broke into tech when you were born into a culture that encouraged you to get a STEM degree

@trunarla
I think women feel like they need to hyper-feminize tech to an extreme just to *compensate* for how drastically masculine it is normally – it makes the most impact.
and then men shame them for being "stereotypically feminine", pressuring them to conform. we rly can't win 😐

how i practice for a talk:
- pause on each slide
- get up, pace around thinking about all the ways i could present this slide
- write down revisions in speaker notes
- repeat until satisfied
it has been difficult to do in my tiny nyc home but thankfully I am out of town :')

before I started this Twitter for work, what I knew as "Tech Twitter" was the yuppie CS student SWE/young startup founders tech community and it was suchhh a different vibe.

Happy International Women's Day!
Did you know that before computers were computers, computers were...women? 😳
Back then, computing power was measured in "kilo-girls" and computing time was measured in "girl hours". Women made computing what it is today! 💜

for longer talks (>30 mins), I prefer to freestyle more and have more audience engagement, whereas for shorter talks I tend to be more scripted to not go over time

so bizarre how when I was recruiting for UX roles people would talk about how UX designers needed so much *empathy* to make *human-centric* designs, when the designs choices in question were just ways to best manipulate human attention in a way that drives profit for the company
User experience design (UX) is an ethically suspect framing for interactive digital systems design because it brackets out all people who are affected by design decisions, and yet are not given the status of "user", as well as all implications that are imperceptible to the user.

CSS is always such a humbling experience.
every time I think I'm an expert it's only because I get into the habit of using the same styling strategies instead of learning new ones that are more accessible or efficient.
