None of this is surprising. I was a sw engineer at 23andMe about 5y ago. Their backend consisted of some of the worst python/django spaghetti code I’ve ever worked on. There was also no engineering culture whatsoever.

there's a solid chance said jobs don't pay equitably either

System Preferences was rewritten for Ventura in SwiftUI, which is absolutely not ready for production, especially on Mac. Speaking from personal experience, I recently wrote a simple macOS app using SwiftUI. I found the framework to be slow (why does it use so much cpu/memory when idle??), unintuitive, and awkward to use. Despite being in its 4th year, SwiftUI is still very much beta software, and I wouldn’t recommend using it for anything serious.

This is painfully accurate. A chain is really only as strong as its weakest link :/

Obviously not, but I think it’s pretty straightforward: use common sense. If you think someone might take offense, then don’t say it.

The main issue here is that you made a joke about race. It wasn’t funny, and was extremely distasteful. If this is still lost on you, then I suggest you take a moment to educate yourself on the matter and consider why this was offensive to so many people.
