apparently tis no longer okay to teach kids about a subjectively shitty president, but it's okay to teach them it's okay to have sex with grownups.

I'm curious to hear your point of view on this.
To a hiring manager at such a firm, would the presence of pronouns at the top of a resume be considered a positive attribute, a warning sign, or merely have no impact whatsoever?
Would the absence of pronouns on a resume be noticed? What effect would that have?

The uncomfortable truth, my son is almost 16 and I have to prepare him for how to navigate these psychopaths.

There must be a limited set of coding-specific characters or strings that only certain demographics are capable of entering. For instance, somewhere there's a relatively frequently necessary line of code that only a pacific islander female aged 35-49 is capable of typing, and without that specific line of code, a much longer and more arduous line of code must be used to perform the same task; therefore, diversity obviously makes software leaner and more capable. It makes sense if you don't think about it.

So in IT when a boss asks an Indian employee "Can you have that done by Friday?" and they repeat "You want this by Friday?" and what they really mean is: There's no ******* way I can write this code by Friday.
It always leads to stellar code and clear understanding.
No joke, if your company is good, you will receive this sort of cultural managerial training for superior code writing.

Did you know that Indian culture makes it hard for them to say no or express concerns?
