I wonder if, after serving in the trenches of the Bitcoin development industry—where there is a war against women, adversarial thinking is a must, and you have to fight hard to get anything of substance done—we become unsuitable for traditional corporate jobs, where you have to be quiet and obey authority, and even arguments to clients are vetted by your PMs.
Bitcoin development is the Hotel California of professional fields. You can check in anytime you like, but you can never leave. Once you’re in, the commitment to its principles and the fight for change is something you carry with you indefinitely. It’s not just a job but a cause you can’t easily walk away from.
The relentless drive to question, challenge, and push for something better is what sets this field apart—and what makes it essential to keep advocating for inclusion, equity, and human rights within it.
This rabbit hole has no exit. And if you are an oppressed minority, it is like a war we have no option but to show up for. I wonder if there are other organizations genuinely concerned about what is being done to women in the dev communities that onboard beginners.
