I don't intend to criticize you; actually I'm not targeting anyone in particular but more the general naivity of the developer community in these matters.

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.2 replies 0 retweets 6 likes -
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.

Ah, that would... certainly explain the talking past each other. Sorry!

Since I'm not subtweeting anyone in this thread, I'll be a bit clearer: I am deeply frustrated with reporting on this that does not, for instance, put the past 15 years of contracts into context, having the effect of distorting scope, impact, and burden.
