Simple quick rant not inviting comments (except if you're also a woman in tech)
Honestly the latent disrespect of being a black woman in tech sometimes grates.
The only reasons I'm still around are:
- good money
- the energy I get from other black people/women specifically
- too hardheaded to let people less talented than me push me out
But yeah if you're wondering why there's so few black women senior+ engs, it's not a matter of interest or talent. Look inward
