[06:44]	schestowitz[TR2]	100 Years of IBM Racism
[06:44]	schestowitz[TR2]	I believe racism remains a real issue at IBM, but its manifestation may have evolved. In some instances, DEI initiatives appear to have been exploited, distorted, and we-ponized by certain groups to advance their own interests, potentially creating or reinforcing new forms of racial discrimination under the guise of promoting equity and inclusion. In that sense, a framework intended to combat discrimination can itself become a vehi
[06:44]	schestowitz[TR2]	cle for it. Im curious to hear others perspectives on this. Thoughts?

[06:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	Retired after 37 years at IBM this year. I have a lot of bad things to say about the leadership practices at IBM, but racism is not one of them. So utter nonsense.....

[06:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	Albany might be the most racist place I have ever worked. Two groups have taken over. Favoritism and cronyism is off the charts.

[06:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	About 20 years, it was apparent there was evidence of white racism towards others. The last decade has shown, there is racism by Indians toward others.

[15:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	Your job has fundamentally changed. It is no longer to write code, and LLMs are not here to help you write better code faster. Your job is to help the LLM write better code faster.

[15:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	The bottom line is that we are in a new world. "Programming" is dead. Engineering is not, nor is expertise. Your old job is gone. Your new job as a builder will let you do more and have more impact than you ever have, if you seize the opportunity. And Proton will set you up to do that, efforts you will hear more about in the coming days and weeks. The era of experimentation continues, but the time to act is now. The future is he

[16:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	nope
[16:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	leaving it out allows them to push the false narrative that it is a personal
