Black software engineers, how are you using your skills for The Movement? How would you want to use your skills? Can we team up? The software development lifecycle doesn’t jive w/ the immediacy & adaptability of grassroots movements, how can we make an impact? #BlackTechTwitter

Not everyone is working on side projects, not everyone is working on a body of work to create passive income; not everyone is in hot pursuit of every frameworks release cycle. the Twitterverse is exhausting and you are enough as you are.

my BEST advice to anyone starting a production project from scratch: *start* with deploying it. Create an empty project with only scaffolding, focus on file types and requirements, then get up an empty div / `hello_world` into some end view.

I’m a fan of yours, but your original tweet poses the two movements comparatively when the intersection exists. Who ever does write it wouldn’t even have framed it that way. There a lot of people at that intersection and lifting them up would be the next step.

White men are like cats the way they always land on their feet. The enormous structures of support that automatically just click together underneath them is more a testament of "too big to fall" systems built around White men than their intrinsic unequivocated value.
