Reposted by AgapeI'm very poorly today, very stupid & hate everybody & everything @voxexsinister.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It's worth mentioning that in Margaret Hamilton's day, programming was REAL nuts & bolts engineering, where sloppy coding would screw up a million dollar mission, & maybe kill people. The closest thing we have today is embedded systems running medical devices, & frankly, current coding is less good. 2467

Reposted by AgapeMallory Moore @sexabolition.blog · 08/10/2026The history of software is one of feminising and devaluing women's labour as nerdy, clerical, following specifications and requirements determined by men, and then valorising a presumed male hacker figure who disrupts and manfully disregards the needs of those relying on custodial maintenance work. 223145
Reposted by AgapeMallory Moore @sexabolition.blog · 08/10/2026One of the frustrations about "engineering" as a discipline is that the heart of the actual discipline is about taking care to make sure things work within specifications and requirements, but tech industry gender politics has characterised engineering as a work of disruption and disregard. 126345
