You have just slightly touched on how I feel looking at this post.

Equality in tech is something I think it's very important, to the point that I never stop whining about it, in fact.

But holy hell it feels like they're too busy with our heads up our own asses to even shut up and write code. Too busy talking about the title "engineer", writing "everything you know is wrong, and I know because I'm a 30 y/o CEO of some tech-company" garbage articles.

It's like if a bunch of writers sitting around debating moleskins to spiral-bounds before declaring who a "real writer" is. It's its own clique, I can't create intricate words but fuck I really really really hate it.

Basically it doesn't matter who you are - if you're an "engineer", you're also, probably, an asshole.
