hacker events discourse, hot take there's a lot of "drama" associated to these kind of events and in a way it's legitimate, issues and mistakes should be pointed out and discussed (and some are less excusable)

but I also see some general negativity and cynicism that just... feels plain unhealthy, and not really constructive

there were fuck-ups at WHY. responsibilities should be taken and it should be prevented in the future. but still, I loved the event, I had a super nice time, and I'm super happy to have decided to come here.

I saw and heard some similar stuff regarding the FLINTA cruising from last weekend, and I feel exactly the same, with the difference that in there I can't even think of any actual issues (also, in that case it was sometimes coated in a layer of slutshaming that some people should really work on).

hacker events discourse, hot take @kitten would rate as lukewarm take tbh ^~^

the drama was mostly due to various team members venting, especially those that were negatively affected by decisions in a way that incurred disruption to timelines or their ability to operate, which, although is uncohesive, can be understandable in this one's opinion.

we will see what responsibility is taken, this one wouldn't be surprised if a significant amount of the drama gets swept under the rug, because "it all worked out in the end" (on the backs of certain creatures/teams, some of whom will have sadly burnt out).

re: FLINTA cruising, this one agrees with your assessment.

hacker events discourse, hot take @maya yeah, like, I understand the people who have had to deal with all that extra workload needing to vent, without it even needing to be constructive or anything other than releasing some frustration

but I also see occasions where that's not really the case
