your "good old times when the internet was awesome and great code was written" are my "ultra-sexist assholes on the internet and being asked at great code events who my boyfriend is" times.
maybe a little less reminiscing and a bit more reflection

@sushee@ohai.social nostalgia is a disease. Not because "remembering old times" is a bad thing, but because nobody remembers old times, they make up that memory, discarding the terrible shit, and only remembering the things they saw as good. I get why people do it, but the internet was not safe, at all, back then, especially not for women
