This sucks on so many levels: Women Who Code is Closing down
I hope the local chapters survive and keep on helping people of all minorities in tech to find their way into tech. Code is too important to leave it to a single group of people!
it seems that local technical #meetups are on life support in many cities. the news about #womenwhocode really set me back this week knowing the impact they have had on many women in the industry.
i would love to hear some positive news about groups that meet regularly that are thriving. link me!
Quite surprised to read that #WomenWhoCode is shutting down: locally in #SanDiego they have had a number of great events with speakers, a Slack with good participation, and more. https://womenwhocode.com/blog/the-end-of-an-era-women-who-code-closing Some of us remember San Diego as home to a #WebGrrls chapter which evolved into digitElle and Techniquelle, long forgotten entities now. But there's still utility in such orgs. Perhaps there are others and I'm merely unaware of them.
#WomenWhoCode is shutting down for funding shortfalls. I can’t think of a more dire canary in the Silicon Valley coal mine than this. We can expect a social fascist turn in the IT industry from here out as the remaining jobs not taken by AI are rationed out to men only.
$4m is chump change for infotech capitalists, a few bucks tossed to a pan handler. That they won’t fund #WWC anymore isn’t an economic decision, but palpably a policy priority toward a hard social rightward turn.
One of those Women in Tech types,
artistic and creative types,
dreamer types,
neuro spicy types,
exploring types,
and generally seeing what else I can learn on a day to day basis.
Looking to make friends and prefer to use Mastodon for the things I love.
Winding my way through life and learning more about myself along the way. Will be sharing my thoughts and a bit of my day to day, as well as my hobbies. Will look forward to meeting new people along the way!
nifty new update for all you #StatsNerds out there! In my goal mapping app, you can now select a team matchup and look at the location of all shot attempts and goals. Updated through 10/21 right now, but will be updated regularly soon!
My name's Megan, originally from Minnesota but living in the UK which is now home. Always something in my mind and will post about it here. Hope you have a wonderful day!
I really need to update this page, and find all these amazing Generative Artists on other platforms. And move some folks to the non-binary section. And...more updates!
If you have any updates or additions for this list of Generative Artists who are women or non-binary, please let me know!
I have a lot of random thoughts, and will likely post them here.
Last year I took the leap into AppSec from a more general Infosec background. This year, I'm looking at security engineering and programming more generally.
A giant thank you to OmniGroup (@omnigroup) for being a Gold Sponsor for this year’s James Dempsey and the Breakpoints benefit concert for #WomenWhoCode!
We use their apps to plan LIVE near #WWDC and are so happy to have them on board as a sponsor!
Shout-out to @kristinHenry for boosting #WomenWhoCode this week -- here's a gif from a project of mine.. I've been working on creating a visualization technique for planar graph embedding of segmented cerebrovascular morphology (finding all the arteries / veins in a brain scan and disentangling them to lie flat). The long term goal is to get this to a place where you could hover over the "subway map" of the brain, and have it control a "Magic Schoolbus"-style viewfinder traversing the 3D scan 🤓
