The fact that the current fibre industry racism discussion seems to be happening entirely via Instagram – rather than this perfectly good HYPERLINKED WORLD WIDE WEB – just kills me. It’s the worst way to talk about serious issues.

@TheRealBnut LOL. I hadn’t seen that one – thank you. 🙂

The most impressive aspect to me is that @ClimateAnja knitted it bottom up and it turned out the right length. My row gauge is crap, so that’d never work for me. 😂 https://t.co/94PEt2NbGs

@dorns2 @boyter @techsydneyau Agree on all of that. A lot do eventually come back. The big problem is that right now, a larger percentage of senior women are gone. That leaves a very big gap for mentoring and inspiration. To put it bluntly, losing 50 senior Aussie women hurts more than 50 senior blokes.

@dorns2 @boyter @techsydneyau I’m just talking overseas in this case. We have so few women tech leaders here. I personally know at least 30 who left Sydney in recent years. Makes it hard to find mentors and role models for the juniors coming up.

---

@dorns2 @boyter @techsydneyau Granted, I know a lot of blokes who’ve gone too. But the population is so much higher that it’s not as noticeable, and there are plenty of replacements to step up. It’s getting to where I rarely see a local woman in the industry as old as I am (and I’m not that old!).

@i386 LOL. We nearly went there today but wisely decided we’d suffer with old curtains for a few more months.

DAMN IT. Did a periodic clean out of FB Messenger requests and discovered yet another senior Aussie woman in tech inviting me to her leaving-do as she heads to the US to work for a big SV company. @techsydneyau – we really need to tackle the SV braindrain.

Bonus crappiness – because FB Messenger sucks, I missed the invitation and thus the leaving-do and she’s already friggin’ GONE.
