I’m infuriated by the idea that female visibility in tech can be fixed with some bandaid Hall of Fame.

Isn’t that a weird one to think about? That we might have less stupid laws if we didn’t accept the male-dominated stereotype of hackers?
Would “anti-hacking statute” have the same connotation if “coding” was just as likely to conjure up a picture of a woman?

I know that seems like a weird contention. But I’m thinking abt a bunch of badly decided cybercrime cases w/ a male “perp” and a female vic.
-
What if cyber law was not just about protecting women and children from nasty male hackers?
-
(What if when we wrote laws, we took into account a coder's freedom to tinker, and when we thought “coder,” we thought about women and men?)

@sarahjeong Freedom? Gender parity? That's just crazy talk. -
@NSQE What can I say? I’m hella crazy.

@sarahjeong I despise the word “hacker” and “hacking” and everything that has come to mean. Would love to discuss with you about this. -
@_Jordan which part do you object to? Curious to hear your perspective. -
@sarahjeong Aside from “hacking” being a terrible mindset to have as a professional developer, it needlessly creates a culture of exclusion. -
@sarahjeong + PG readily admits he touts it to discredit “engineer” and “developer,” to dissuade young people from joining larger companies.
