@HeartOfPluto_ @craigles75 @yow_conf It’s weird for me to see the tweets and not be there! ๐Ÿ˜ญ


Today I learned never to play the “I bet I’m on more work mailing lists than you are!” with a Google SRE. ๐Ÿ˜ณ


@unixbigot @Amys_Kapers Holy shit, yeah, run away!

This is amazing. It describes my entire tech career – why Iโ€™m not an engineer anymore, everything I did at places like Canva, why I hit a ceiling on promotion, and why Iโ€™m still trying (and often failing) to Be Less Glue. @whereistanya – you nailed it. THANK YOU. https://t.co/NyJULQ8Vzg


@alicegoldfuss @whereistanya It describes something Iโ€™ve experienced and known in my bones and never put words to. This is ME. Thank you.


RT @abbyfuller: this whole thread ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

@alicegoldfuss said it better than me, but this is so worth looking it-. “Glue work” affects SO manyโ€ฆ


@joneaves @joshprice @whereistanya Right, but have you ever gotten the โ€œNot technical enoughโ€? My last three job interviews all went there. Women in glue work tend to get tarred with that brush more frequently, Iโ€™ve seen.
