My bf told me about these caps for my meds and it’s helped soooo much especially with two doses a day. I never have to question the last time I took it

so wait let me get this straight @lindyli tried to get an endorsement from philly DSA, didn’t, & now she’s on television saying she’d never vote for Bernie even if he got the nomination & has gone on fox to denounce socialism? Can we get these fake ass grifters out of politics?

Since @ryansaavedra tried mocking @AOC for her claim that algorithms are racist (biased) I decided to train a facial recognition model on his face as a lesson.

I would like to say to people who are going through similar situations, keep a job journal. Keep track of your accomplishments and when things get weird. It’s not your fault.

Microsoft is why I stepped down as co chair and why I had to stop participating in node. Microsoft is why I’m not speaking this year. Microsoft is why I constantly question whether or not I’m good enough or belong in tech.

Anyway. This was only known in backchannels and by friends but I wanted to say it publicly. i didn’t want to write a medium post about it. I just want people to know my story and to stop asking me why I left Microsoft. It’s because I was forced to.

If you are setting unrealistic environments for your technical challenges, I seriously question whether or not you are going to set up your future employees for success. i

Please delete this, I’m a software engineer that has worked with facial detection algorithms and have given a talk about cyberpunk / surveillance and this just isn’t effective anymore and could get people caught.

Please just wear a mask and sunglasses, CV Dazzle is a pretty dated study by now and facial recognition especially using IR mapping can recognize you with paint on your face. I know it looks cool but it’s just not that effective.

I didn’t. It took me a while to realize I was being managed out. Why would men who I supposedly made uncomfortable try and connect with me on LinkedIn? Why would they lie about this shit?
I honestly didn’t know what gaslighting truly felt like until I was at Microsoft

Seems like Google is still having people do their technicals by coding inside a google doc??? jason has one next week which they told him will be that, and they said. 'study up on leetcode hard questions'
STOP MAKING PEOPLE WRITE CODE IN ENVIRONMENTS THEY WON'T BE USING FOR WORK

There are four things I’d like to encourage every software engineer to do:
1. Always set your undereye concealer with powder to prevent creasing.
2. If you want to fake sick just go into work without makeup.
3. Use as many emoji as you want.
4. Always wipe from front to back.

I will say I do not think every team at Microsoft is bad. Everyone at Microsoft isn’t bad, but there are some intense shitty things happening and they have extremely broken systems and no way for people to get out of bad situations.

I hate that I have to reassure him about how I've done coding challenges that I didn't end up completing, that I look stuff up all the time, that it's ok to not know everything, how you problem solve is the most important part & these types of interviews do NOT reflect that

Ppl who grow up poor who end up with tech salaries are either super powerful budgeters who know where every cent goes or are still so conditioned to being broke that you spend like a fiend each time you get paid and def carry too much cc debt

i broke down this morning & got him the 'cracking the code interview' book which i personally believe is bullshit & you shouldn't have to do anything but learn & build your skills to prove your worth by doing. if this is what jr devs have to do now idk what else i can do to help

We did not get along, no matter what I did it wasn’t good enough and every single quarterly review I had from him was bad. You want to talk about ~ meritocracy ~?? I was hitting ALL my quotas. Yet he turned it into something terrible.

What? No they’re not. Saying “straight for tv” makes it seem like a hallmark movie when Netflix is working with plenty of the same talent as studios doing theatrical releases, if anything they’re giving smaller mid budget filmmakers a chance again which big studios obliterated.

I drove an hour each way to Long Island to pick up a Honeybaked ham for Christmas dinner, that night when I took my sleep meds I slept ate some of the ham and just left it out for hours and had to throw it out the next day. Everyone in my group chat said “hambien”

Never forget the reason why it’s always a bunch of dudes saying css and html aren’t programming is because lots of front end jobs are held by designers & ppl who were self taught who are frequently not-men and they’re trying to devalue the work.

I was fired, with cause. Told I was a shitty evangelist, and a shitty engineer. Direct feedback on the latter from when I was fired “while Rachel fixed some very intense bugs she ultimately didn’t write enough lines of code”
No severance.

They said “I made people uncomfortable” because me and the other woman were talking about Valentine’s Day dinner reservations.
I felt sick to my stomach. First because my mind was racing trying to think of if I had done ANYTHING inappropriate.
