Honestly not that ridiculous of a comparison considering California's size and GDP, we could be doing a lot better

That should be the women's choice to make though. She doesn't want a baby, if she has an unexpected pregnancy she will abort, so she doesn't need to take all that into account. She should get her treatment and a prior warning about pregnancy issues that could occur

Let's not get too caught up on comparisons, everyone deserves a living wage. McDonald's is a job just as much as healthcare work is, an hour of your life takes just as much of your time no matter where you work. The big question to me is why this minimum wage isn't being applied across all industries

How can you even form an opinion on this if, as you stated in that thread, you literally have no idea what typescript is and are just a beginner in js? You got down voted for saying typescript is unnecessary without even knowing what it is or what the thing you're working with's limitations are, which is a pretty objectively braindead stance to take. You're a beginner js developer, you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to preferences of ts vs js, just that all of the beginner level stuff you have tried to do works in js so therefore typescript or frameworks must be unnecessary

It's probably a healthy mindset to be hard on yourself for running stop signs, you're gonna get somebody killed dude

That's a great point, unions are really under utilized in tech and would help a ton with this. I'm not sure if forming a union is 100% of the solution though, there are powerful unions in hollywood and sexism has still been allowed to run rampant there for example. Unions are comprised of the workers, many of whom are contributing to the problem, this isn't just an issue coming from the top

The Linus Tech Tips abuse allegations are yet another reminder that something absolutely needs to be done about the rampant sexism in the tech industry. If you haven't heard them yet you can read about them here, but be warned, there is some potentially very triggering abuse and self harm detailed: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html

Madison's story is not unique - we have heard stories like hers time and time again. As a tech professional it makes me sick to share an industry with these horrible people, and to know that little is being done to reign them in.

So, what can be done about this? I don't have all of the answers, but one thing that comes to mind is that HR departments desperately need actual unbiased oversight, perhaps even from a governing body outside of the company. It has become common knowledge that HR’s primary purpose is to protect the company, and this prevents employees from speaking out and driving internal change even in terrible situations like Madison Reeve and countless others have faced. The way things are run clearly needs to fundamentally change

Let me know in the comments if you have any ideas on how we as a tech community might be able to address these issues, I am truly at a loss. All I want is for tech to be a safe space for everybody to find their passion and success, and it saddens me that we clearly aren't there yet.

Oh god I'd be afraid to call her that in public lol. Sounds way too much like whiffer which would be very rude

More like why civil rights still arent a thing even though we passed a law in the mid 60s about it.
