Gregory's Server@ngaylinn it's also pretty strongly evidenced that CS as a field pushes a lot of essentialist views of skill and achievement which I think has impacted many of these orgs.

@grimalkina @ngaylinn I've experienced this quite a bit as a technical writer: "We are the Engineers, the blessed few who understand the Deep Magic, who wield the arcane symbols of…" My dude, the writing team has been running their own build because you clowns can keep an environment stable for more than 12 hours. |
@grimalkina I don't disagree! I'm fascinated by how people say and even think they believe a thing, and yet do the opposite. I've seen that quite a bit in terms of explicit "DEI" stuff, so I'd expect it here, too. It's just harder for me to think of examples, especially ones as extreme / obvious as this!
If there are more subtle indicators of this kind of cognitive dissonance that you think are common, I'd love to hear more examples. :)
