#WomenWhoCode is shutting down for funding shortfalls. I can’t think of a more dire canary in the Silicon Valley coal mine than this. We can expect a social fascist turn in the IT industry from here out as the remaining jobs not taken by AI are rationed out to *men only*.
$4m is chump change for infotech capitalists, a few bucks tossed to a pan handler. That they won’t fund #WWC anymore isn’t an economic decision, but palpably a policy priority toward a hard social rightward turn.
