     @RustyCrab @deprecated_ii This is the most unbelievable combination of female "programmer" stereotype (UX drone) and male "rock star" bragging I have ever witnessed.

     @PunishedD @deprecated_ii this is why when I get resumes that list companies like microsoft and facebook as previous employers, I usually give them a serious side eye, and often they will not be considered until other candidates. The bloat at those companies is absolutely beyond belief. Not just for DEI reasons (though that's a huge part of it) but just overhiring and lack of oversight in general. Lots and lots of third wheel people that just don't do anything but soak up credit.
     
     That's why every time there's even a slight downturn in the economy they lay off like half their workforce. It's just made of people like this.

     @RustyCrab @deprecated_ii But "she" learned C++ in a day! ONE DAY! How could anyone pass up such an amazing Senior Software Engineer? The only thing holding "her" back is a dopey pointy haired Manager, who totally misinterpreted "her" chosen career path and gave out inconvenient assignments. At 70% of a male engineer's pay, "she" is a real steal, especially now that "she" decided coding is just too lame for "her" awesome software skills now.
