Happy #Holi from the Empire State

While every person on my team who reports to me as their manager is based in the US, none of them were born in the US and none of them are white. They are each the best at what they do and I would be completely screwed if anyone were to tell me that I had to start over and hire an all-white team because of some garbage about them being #DEI hires. Because, and I realize I am repeating myself now, THEY ARE EACH THE BEST AT WHAT THEY DO!

Thankfully the company for whom I work sees value in DEI. They were supporters of DEI before it even existed as an acronym spat from the mouths of #republicans as if it were a curse.

I am white. Very white. Painfully white some might say. I am reflective in sunlight. As I said, they are not. There are no issues on either side, I'm not secretly bemoaning there not being pale people on my team. Years before I joined the company, one of the gents on the team tried to manage the team and quickly realized they did not want that job and they very much wanted to continue being an engineer. So they got a manager and I got an awesome team of engineers who all wanted a manager.

So all this garbage about team cohesion and all that, it's just that, it's garbage. I wished my team a happy #holi this weekend, they wished me a happy #purim. I sometimes say good morning in Kannada (since it's the only dialect I know a few words in) and the two folks on the team who speak that dialect get a kick out of it. But beyond all that, we're just a bunch of engineers working on technical issues. I'm a meat shield that keeps them from getting pestered all the time and they do their jobs like the badass team they are.

I do plan to move with intent in supporting DEI when I hire and fill the reqs I have open. I believe such initiatives are important, but it's not like it's somehow a heavy lift for me to take this on. I find that teams of individuals who are from different backgrounds are wonderful, the only thing the disrupts team cohesion is hiring a bigot who cares about the skin color of their team mates, not hiring someone who has a different skin color, or a different gender presentation, or who loves someone of the same sex as them, or whatever else Republicans claim they care about today.

Sod off and let me build my team the way I want.

Wishing a colourful and happy #Holi to everyone celebrating

Today, Hindus around the world celebrate Holi, the festival of colors, and nowhere is it more raucous than in India. Kids and grownups filled their water balloons and water guns yesterday, and have packets of colored powder ready to ambush friends, neighbors and strangers. "If you're spotlessly clean, you're a target," write Mithil Aggarwal and Max Butterworth for NBC. Here's their story about the meaning of the festival and how it is celebrated — complete with some absolutely stunning photography.
