I wanna tell a story now to desensitize myself a bit in advance. This talk is about "strength" and how it normalizes harm in tech spaces.

That one comment took years from me. It pushed back my transition by probably half a decade. It stole all of my 20s.

I want it to be okay to be weak. I want it to be ok to not have to play the goddamn hero. I don't want to be strong. I want to be at peace.

I feel this so hard. Your story reminded me that university almost killed me. Had to be so strong. I never slept enough.

Why do we nearly kill ourselves studying for the chance to continue to nearly kill ourselves working? Why is this the model?

I don’t know, but tech has essentially been almost killing me for about 15 years now. I’m so tired. So very tired. :-/

So much the same. -


tech will then complain they can’t find any good senior devs after it destroyed so many of us. -
That's already happening so hard
