DiAngelos book focuses on painting a monoculture out of white people with unilateral experiences. It also turns race into what closely mimicks a religion and amplifies the concept.
Intersectionality acknowledges race as a component of struggle but more aptly paints a picture of class issues. It's a far healthier way to look at the world.
I found "White Fragility" provided an interesting insight into a blind spot in my view of the world but I don't see how her abusive-sounding corporate seminars are supposed to help anything. Even as she described them in the book they sounded disastrous.
More flamebait, you should stop. The GOP already used their "groomer panic" card on gay people and failed, so it falls pretty flat today. Some people are trans, get over it.
People assume that empathy is something that nice people do. It isn't. It's just another tool. Back when I cared about liberal politics [0] one of the points I constantly made was that we needed to be sympathetic and understand conservative worries even if ultimately we didn't care. I had managed to get dozens of hard right people to consider ditching the GOP when attacking the party in a way that their base understood.
[0] Having OWS raided in the middle of the night with flashbangs and killdozers made me seriously reconsider who you support politically. Thanks Obama!
Twitter doesn't need 10,000 engineers to keep running. I'd be shocked if a well designed system would need more than a hundred given the head counts as some of the places I've worked at. That doesn't stop Musk from killing it in the transition from here to there.
And what glorious fun we're all having looking at this train wreck.
I've seen places which will rather hire 10 developers getting paid $80k a year than two developers getting paid $400k a year. You get what you pay for. The number of managers who will not hire someone getting paid more than them is astonishing.
Because I've seen it even in places where the guy doing the hiring was the major share holder. He flat out told me that no one would pay a salary like what I was asking. It went downhill from there and he didn't take it well when I told him I was making more than that now and I figured this was going to be a relaxing year to wind down from my current position, hence why I was asking for less.
Trading systems are complex distributed systems. They need extremely high reliability and low latency, on enormous transaction volume.
There are lots of complex failure modes in a system like this, and minimizing them is an advanced skill. The learning curve for a competent generalist senior engineer to get good at these kinds of problems is significant. Designing and implementing a national securities exchange is a big deal.
This is a place where you want either experienced developers who have worked on other stock exchanges, or at least FAANG engineers who've worked on systems with analogous challenges. This is not a place you want to skimp on salary.
You want HFT experts because this is the definition of an HFT system. Those salaries even in Australia start at $200k for a junior developer and go upwards quite quickly.
Of course OP thinks that $80k is a good salary for a developer so that ought to tell you how competent she is.
If a job is meaningful you can get people to stay because they believe in it. I've done it for two projects. That said, twitter isn't that. I imagine he just want to get rid of as many people as he can.
