  1. There are OTHER goals people may have, related to competition, and money, or seeing things as a zero sum, us vs them situation. Such people may create #InGroups they favor and #OutGroups they exclude from competition.
    I think toxic masculinity ties into these discussions as well, promoting above.

  2. @jwildeboer The comment on the wiki page about Conway's observation being being originally a sociological one has a "citation needed" mark against it, but I think that's right on the money. I think it extends beyond tech and what we normally think of when we think of "organisations." For example, we wouldn't think of LinkedIn users as being an organisation as such, yet there are definitely the outlines of organising mechanics, and these are most definitely and obviously coded into the language used.

  7. A quotation from Pratchett

       “Yo!” said the Dean.
       “Yo what?” said Ridcully.
       “It’s not a yo what, it’s just a yo,” said the Senior Wrangler, behind him. “It’s a general street greeting and affirmative with convivial military ingroup and masculine bonding-ritual overtones.”
       “What? What? Like ‘jolly good’?” said Ridcully.
       “I suppose so,” said the Senior Wrangler, reluctantly.

  10. This is the funniest, most on point #SiliconValley thing I’ve read in years. #memes #vcs #ingroups #HerdMentality #techbros #lolsob

    It’s so inside I’m not sure anyone outside the bay area will get it. It’ll just be an acid trip of word salad. But holy shit is it on-point.
