      3) I'm very happy to see these suggestions tried, although I don't think they will fix things by themselves.

      4) The more intractable causes of the skew are not biology, but gendered and racial allocation of social roles & status under capitalism.

      5) That doesn't mean that there's no "biology" in play, but that it's a long, long way aback of much more pressing & proximate causes.

      6) So much so, that it's a complete red herring to bring it up. Sure, maybe absolute statistical equity is unlikely. We're nowhere *near*.

      7) If we were near enough for group-level statistical variations in sciencey-ness or whatever to be significant, *no-one would care*.

      8) I don't like the way US libs fight these battles. I worry about their fondness for shallow, authoritarian fixes. They're technocrats too.

      9) In other words, it sometimes looks like a fight between elitist, exclusionary geek culture and elitist, exclusionary US business culture.

      10) I want a better geek culture, not a geek culture gutted by and subordinated to a professional managerial class.

      11) Wanting that, means I have to make some commitment to realising a better geek culture, and not just snipe at the PMC, fun though that is

      12) So, grey tribers, my question to you is: what would a commitment from the "freak" corner to making things better actually look like?

      recognition that programming people and programming for people are hard and we retreat from them because we're bad at them, not superior

          a real push to stop underpaying and undervaluing tech support, bc tech support is the paradigm case of a "people skills job" that matters

          Testers can get a pretty raw deal too - in general we need to dethrone the "genius artist coder" and value the whole ecosystem.

          yeah, coders have totally embraced the Romantic auteur syndrome, it's a weird cultural cross-pollination

          I've done very well out of this particular stereotype, but it's not one that can weather a broader systemic understanding of what we do.

          damn it feels good to be an auteur but yeah understanding ourselves in ways that lead to being shits to the ~little people~ is not durable

          This is an aspect of the general project I have started to characterise as "making sure we don't all end up on the wrong end of a pogrom".
