This gist describes the process of making a self-hosted installation
of Wordpress run with SQLite as a backing store, rather than MySQL.

This is not a step-by-step guide, and will require some degree of
comfort with your filesystem, editors, and logging. This involves
both fighting with and lying to these systems, and consequently
comes with no guarantees whatsoever.

React Bias

It may seem like a bold suggestion that we as web developers can choose the wrong tools for the job because we tend to be swayed by appeals to popularity or authority, but simple statistics imply just that. For example, React (https://reactjs.org/) is a JavaScript framework that emphasizes componentization and simplified state management. It enjoys strong advocacy from a vocal and dedicated userbase within the developer community.

Despite React’s apparent popularity, however, The HTTP Archive observed in 2020 that React only accounted for 4% of all libraries in use across the 7.56 million origins it analyzed (https://almanac.httparchive.org/en/2020/javascript#libraries).

For context, The State of JS 2020 Survey (https://2020.stateofjs.com/en-US/), which surveyed roughly 23,765 respondents, offers the following statistics:

• 70.8% of respondents identified as white.
• 91.1% identified as male, whereas 5.8% identified as female and 0.9% identified as non-binary/third gender.

What happens after Outreachy?

Disclaimer: These thoughts are my own (Bianca Danforth) based on my experience starting as an Outreachy at Mozilla and now working as a Senior Software Engineer.

Congratulations! You’ve just completed your Outreachy internship. You may be wondering: Where do I go from here? How do I get a job in software engineering? Below are a set of steps I recommend based on my own experience.

Introspect

• Identify goals
  • What are your professional goals?
  • If you're not sure where to start, ask other people you admire what their professional goals are.
• Identify skills
• What skills do you need to achieve your goals (those you already have, those that you need to improve, and those you need to learn)?

It just crystallized for me what I think has been mistaken about thinking of unwanted interaction on social networks as a "privacy" problem. It's not.

A privacy problem is things becoming known more widely than they should, subject to surveillance and contextless scrutiny.

The onslaught of sexual harassment on platforms like early Twitter (and later twitter for people of notability), @KeybaseIO, every naive social network is an attack on the right to exist in public. It is the inverse of a privacy problem.

But the conceiving of this as a privacy problem brings the wrong solutions. It means we are offered tools to remove ourselves from public view, to restrict our public personas, to retreat from public life. It means women are again confined to private sphere, denied civic life.

It's so endemic, so entrenched, and so normal that women should have to retreat to protect ourselves that we think of this as part of femininity. A strong civic life is seen as unfeminine, forward. It poisons us politically, socia

Do I want to die on this hill?

• Pass: This is morally good and if not handled has long term consequences
• Fail: This if self serving

Am I including everyone?

• Pass: My ego is not driving this conversation
• Fail: The people in this conversation will only tell me I'm right and not push back
