  • 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






  • 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
