So, the Devternity conference collapses after it's exposed that they were promoting *fake* female speakers to make up for the lack of actual diversity on their speaking schedule...and Robert C. Martin is complaining that people staying away is "cancel culture". I always knew he was an odious person (and FWIW, I don't even rate his material), but this is thoroughly off the rails...
@airadam oh it wont vanish, the guy is a toolbag - I linked this on LI earlier this week https://blog.wesleyac.com/posts/robert-martin
@cursedsql That's a good article, I've read it a few times before! He's very much the beneficiary of the copy-cattiest tendencies in the industry, and has built up quite the cult of personality. Someone on the birdsite called him "the father of software engineering", which made me have to walk away from the computer 
@airadam THE FATHER LMAO
@cursedsql I was *heated*
@airadam daffy duck laughing noise is all I got
@airadam sadly, #STEM is a field where some men would rather do this bs than acknowledge and include female experts. #tech #GenderBias
@Koritsi No lies told, sadly.
@airadam "every single possible problem can and should be fixed with tech, including our woman deficit"
