IDK man, but this DEI hire is teaching a 6 day class on industrial cybersecurity while also keeping up with a DFIR job while also selling a house and doing two visa applications alone while all this shit waves is going on. And even cleaned the gutters. But it’s probably because I have t**s.

This shit hurts extra because I had zero legs up in just about anything I have achieved in my career or hobbies, and doing it all before substantial DEI initiatives made it so a lot of people in authority told me to fuck off no matter how hard I worked. It took me years to break into professional cybersecurity. Nobody would mentor me. Professional groups made it purposefully uncomfortable to join. My degree program was 95% men. I had to room with another career in Air Force training. I smiled and shut up through rape jokes and studied alone.
I’ve dedicated so much of my life to making sure nobody else hit those same real road blocks in mentoring and finding jobs, but almost all the progress we have made in my lifetime in the US is just gone, overnight.

Talking about a meritocracy just because you think you hire and promote equally at your personal organization based on only skill is painfully naive. The pipeline is the problem. Breaking in is the problem.

The financial catastrophe of the mortgage-backed securities crisis was completely caused by white men. They were considered the best of the financial elites in the world, worth every penny of their million dollar salaries and billion dollar stock grants. And the financial collapse was everywhere, none of them saw it coming.
Anyone can tank an investment bank as CEO, a preschooler with a magic eight ball could do it.
And somehow people still believe in meritocracy.

meritocracy is one of those concepts, like democracy, that is lovely in theory but tends to break down when it depends on being done correctly and honestly by human beings.

@paul_ipv6 @firebreathingduck @hacks4pancakes Democracy is bloody challenging in theory and practice, it’s not “nice” at all. Just much better than how every alternative system has played out, in practice.
