Maybe I used the wrong phrase or maybe it just means different things in different places.
nnnnni | 11 years ago | on: Resumes suck for hiring engineers
I was recently passed over because my 15 years' of experience with Linux has been with multiple distributions (including RPM-based ones) and my resume didn't have a line that just said "Red Hat" on it.
Them: "Oh, I'm sorry, we can't hire you because you don't have any JavaScript experience..."
Candidate: "What do you think all of this stuff with JS in the name on my resume means?!"

Chris Randall of Sister Machine Gun (at least used to?) use a low-frequency generator at live shows to produce a sound that the audience could feel but not hear in order to make the music more intense. I suspect that you'd gain some of that effect with a larger bit size.
...or I could be completely wrong. Whatever.

Anyway, the whole point of my comment was to (try to) convince people to NOT go that route.

SJW != progressive. SJWs are the ones who ruin it for normal people who want to make things better. They're like boneheads in relation to skinheads. Skinheads were blue collar, pro-average-person advocates. Boneheads then co-opted the style but replaced the peaceful intent with neo-nazi diatribe and conflict.
By suggesting that people should stop being the bully or victim, I'm saying that they should be conscious of their own misogyny (or similar thoughts/actions) or learn how to make positive changes rather than being angry and mob-like all the time.
Extremism is a dangerous thing.

Maybe Barbie's team's organization was agreed upon by all members and she WANTED to do the design work while the two guys did the actual coding. Maybe she plans to do the coding for the next project. A better name would have been Coder Team Barbie. Let's start there.
When you make a big deal out of stuff like this, you're turning it into the thing against which you are claiming to fight.
Stop "playing the victim" and make a better version without the elitist SJW attitude. The first step toward equality is to stop being the bully or the victim, whichever one applies.

I've seen too many cases where a "job posting" on somewhere like dice.com is really a meta-posting by a recruiter that is looking to fill a position in the actual company and collect a royalty (or whatever it's called) for doing it.
I don't want to apply for Recruiters, LLC. I want to apply for RealCompany, Inc.
Another reason why blocking is great is because sometimes you'll find have a bad experience with Scummyco and never want to see anything from them again.

Still, this is a great idea...
nnnnni | 11 years ago | on: Say No
Where I work, the entire culture changed from "let's work together to make everything better" to "you drop everything RIGHT NOW if the boss decides that they have a personal project" when a new one took over.
...and so I will be starting my new job in a couple of weeks.
