Ok so the web-sphere tech industry is talking about Microsoft and ICE and folks I need you to start really understanding that there is a wholw entire tech industry that barely even knows what Github is.

You might be surprised who knows what about govt contracts in these Twitter streets.
-
I don't think any given person would surprise me, but I would be shocked to discover a significant percentage of web-sphere developers having any context for this.
-
I've spent the *vast* majority of my career doing government contracting and dealing with the contempt culture of shifting from that space to the contemporary Scrum/Agile world (and vice versa, the contempt flows both ways).
-
I think what
@EricaJoy is saying is that a lot of Black developers work in the government contracting space, and may not necessarily be in the networks of folks who aren't Black. -
I am nevertheless unsure how this relates to my comment about the general naivity of SF/SV culture w/r.t. gov money, except to perhaps reinforce the comment that the underrepresentation of Black developers in the latter contributes even more to the *general* lack of insight.

I think the objection is to the conflation of all the communities on Twitter with white supremacist SF/SV culture. But anyways, don't mean to shove words in Erica's mouth :)
-
I mean I am aiming to be calling out SF/SV/startup culture and its sequelae specifically here, and not those other communities.

I just saw
@EricaJoy's post from earlier :) I wasn't referring to that or even aware of it, ftr, and I agree with its sentiment entirely. - 2 more replies

I know. :) There are a lot of complex nuances in this space.

I think a fundamental question that seriously needs to be considered by these orgs is: "are we a US company that operates internationally, or an international company which happens to have US headquarters?"
