Yeah, I powered through this series due to #stayhomestaysafe, and happy I did. A really fun story, and enjoyed seeing many characters in the_Io_ books introduced here in some more depth.
Between the two Io books and the three Tao books, I really want to read Io 3 (write faster, Wesley #scifi #reading #quasingwars
"You are you", and it took me until the just before the end to put the pieces together. Touches on #technology and #identity #race and #racism, empathy, compassion, revenge, and a humdinger of an ending #reading #scifi #reading2020
I need suggestions for some wholesome content to put on my extra screen that is NOT minute-by-minute pandemic information #mh #mentalhealth

TL,DR: I'm joining YouGov as a Senior Python Developer, working with the survey systems team.
Slightly Longer Version...
For the last 6 years, I've been working for Wells Fargo as a python developer and unofficial feature team lead for a team in their infrastructure technology organization. I started with Wells as a web developer (in fact my title remained Web Developer (level) for my entire career there) but my focus really become building and supporting systems that connected OpenStack and bank business systems. It was challenging, rewarding work, and the team that grew up around this effort is one of the best I've ever worked with.
But there came a time I looked around and realized that my work and responsibilities did not reflect the goals and priorities I had set for myself and my career.
My work with YouGov will involve lots of Python application development, naturally, but also give me exposure to big data, ETL processes, some statistical work, and some devops work. There's a lot that I can bring to the table, and a lot that I'll be learning, which is one of the things I was looking for in a new position.
I am really looking forward to this!
Kate Manne, a philosopher at Cornell University, describes misogyny as an ideology that serves, ultimately, to reinforce a patriarchal status quo. “Misogyny is the law-enforcement branch of patriarchy,”

It's not showing up on Elizabeth Warren's site yet, but Axios is reporting that Warren is suspending her presidential campaign. I'm heartbroken -- she was the smart, tough candidate that actually inspired me.
Senator Warren: Thank you for your leadership, your humility, your willingness to hold those in power accountable. You would have been an incredible president. Keep fighting for Americans and for what America should stand for.

The powers that be want us apathetic, or alternatively too cognitively and emotionally overwhelmed to get engaged. I'm struggling with this myself, and with Arizona was voting today.
Personally I support Elizabeth Warren. She's smart, tough, and terrifies #oldwhitemen. All of which I can get behind.

Article: "Tech was supposed to fix X"
Narrator: "Tech made X far far worse"
"Tech" practices problem-space-reduction to reach MVP, reducing messy, complex, human situations to linear engineering problems, optimized for what "works in most cases" where "most cases" is bounded by systemic and institutional bias (including systemic racism).
Systemic bias is an inseparable part of organizational culture, the common pattern of thinking that goes with it, and the premises by which all human systems function. Therefore each of us has a systemic bias. However, we may be unaware of its unstated assumptions. compression institute, 2011
Hence, "Tech" makes many things far, far worse.
