From HN the other day. https://jvns.ca/blog/so-you-want-to-be-a-wizard/
I reduced the filesize of linked video. https://files.catbox.moe/q048y5.mp4 [38 minutes, 11Mb] She basically reads her own blog post using the drawings as slides. Either is worth a look.
One of the women in tech they cart out is very androgynous... But it takes all kinds.

Give me a feminine woman, the more based the better. I'm sick and tired of whiny feminist cunts.

Julia Evans might be a tool of the system but not so bad herself. She is what a real engineer looks like, as it turns out.

Payment processing is about as basic and mundane as it gets. This broad has absolutely nothing whatsoever original or insightful to say. She's just a personality cult on Hacker News because she has a vagina.

Both Julia and the company she works at, Stripe, are popular with HN. Stripe of course is one of the credit card processors blacklisting targets.
Payment processing was important to the startup community in order to conduct business and there were problems witn PayPal before (i.e. chargebacks etc). A new service appeared but ended up becoming a problem too... But I wouldn't blame JE for that part. :/
