"Surprisingly, our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless."

@drandrewv2 oh, sure. I think the authors were being slightly tongue in cheek 🤓

@dahukanna I suspect it's a tongue in cheek phrase...

@hueller I would love that to be true but I am not placing any bets 🤓

@grimalkina of course, perhaps men are worse at math due to suppressed empathy and other emotions as part of the pervasive patriarchal norms but we cannot know that (yet).

For clarity: f*ck the patriarchy

@frykitty I think it's tongue-in-cheek 👅

@csstrowbridge I think the authors may have been a bit sarcastic

Aha, I get it now: the GenAI enshittification of cloud services like Slack, StackOverflow, Google, Discord, MSFT, and all the rest is a conspiracy by lonely SysAdmins who miss the old days of running IT equipment in-house and are pushing a return to on-prem 🖥️💽⌨️

It. All. Makes. Sense. 🤪

AI = a massive spike in energy consumption and carbon emissions for the production of what is the intellectual equivalent of mechanically reclaimed meat, and yet it will be pursued by capitalists seeking to position themselves as a very small door with stiff hinges that is the only gateway to knowledge. It is nothing but a damaging power play dressed up as a benign service. 🐂💩

matthewskelton,
@matthewskelton@mastodon.social avatar

@nealcurtis a key lightbulb 💡 for me:

LLMs (currently) provide no way to compare sources and weigh up the credibility. So critical judgement is impossible.

Without explicit identification of sources, LLMs deny critical judgement.

Unless the only comparison is between the set of LLMs...

matthewskelton,
@matthewskelton@mastodon.social avatar

@sumek @nealcurtis but is the "source" also hallucinated ?

TIL: CxO people are making crucial strategic decisions based on ... what ChatGPT happens to regurgitate. 😵‍💫

So to have a chance of a good understanding of your services or ideas, and therefore a good decision from these CxO people, you need to feed the GenAI beast with more publicly available data.

Like a monstously inefficient search engine. 😵‍💫

A public service announcement with an expiration date: if you've loved my writing and science, I have a book proposal+sample chapter out on submission right now. The pitch is "The Psychology of Software Teams": a general audience, warmly human, accessible book for teams, leaders, and curious minds, filled to the brim with practitioner stories AND the new empirical social science of technology innovation. 🙌❤️

Let me know if you know editors who might be interested in this uniquely cool project.

matthewskelton,
@matthewskelton@mastodon.social avatar

@grimalkina please approach IT Revolution with this proposal 🤩

matthewskelton,
@matthewskelton@mastodon.social avatar

@grimalkina happy to make an intro if you like 👍🏼

matthewskelton,
@matthewskelton@mastodon.social avatar

@grimalkina I will do this over the weekend

I will be signing copies of my book Team Topologies 📗 after my keynote and fireside chat sessions at DTX Manchester on Thurs 23 May - come to the Eficode booth and say hi!

Any people on here who have both experience with + and or ?

It feels that stream-aligned teams and the fluid teams is a big conflict? And I'm wondering what kind of tradeoffs you've found when working with one or the other?

For example, how do devs build deep domain expertise in fluid teams?

Or if you do TeamToplogies, does it always mean that you might need to rework your architecture so teams can work on value and not just on individual components?

matthewskelton,
@matthewskelton@mastodon.social avatar

@tcoopman effectively, both FaST and LeSS ignore sociotechnical mirroring (aka Conway's Law) and also the sociotechnical dynamics around stewardship of code that most of the industry has learned via the DevOps movement since 2008.

FaST and LeSS arise from the desktop era of software development ("software is done when shipped") rather than the cloud era ("software is never done").

Neither model is right or wrong but applying the desktop era principles to cloud contexts is very wrong.

matthewskelton,
@matthewskelton@mastodon.social avatar

@Tallish_Tom the evidence is in the lack of continuity of care that both LeSS and FaST exhibit due to teams roaming over the codebase.

Whenever I ask about on-call and long term codebase health, I get scorned by folks from those disciplines so 🤷🏼

@tcoopman

matthewskelton,
@matthewskelton@mastodon.social avatar

@Tallish_Tom actually yes, that code ownership with the FaST collective was interesting and the main 💡 lightbulb for me from that podcast.

But I just don't sense any underlying fundamental commitment to continuous stewardship...
