There’s no actual attempt at creating a better industry here. Just creeps using the first bit of power they’ve ever had to extract sex from women

Definitely this. I got *into* code because I had a family and my old career couldn't provide for them, but I knew I could code I'd never even apply. I guess they don't want old curmudgeons like me who don't take their bullshit - they want maladjusted manbabies who can code but not defend themselves
