Maybe in silicon valley startups, but not in most places. Honestly.

>I used to work at Ball and was pushed out for complaining about every single face in every single meeting being white

I doubt that's why you were "pushed out..." Or maybe "complaining" was not done in a constructive manner.

(My uncle thinks he gets "pushed out" of all the jobs he's ever had because of some silly reason like this[1] but it's actually because he has poor work ethic and doesn't get along with others. I used to listen to him talk to dispatch when he was a truck driver living with us...uhhh it was embarrassing to listen to...)

Also, I'm a woman myself, FWIW.

[1] stuff like "my boss promoted my coworker over me because she's pretty." That was the last "reason" he had.

Silicone is the stuff of shower sealant and plastic surgery. Silicon is the thing embeded circuits are made of. FWIW. The idea of a silicone valley did make me smile though, thanks for that.

I rely on auto correct/auto fill too much... On a related note... I hate that every time I put ID it gets "corrected" to "I'd."

It'd be nice if there were tailored dictionaries you could use in your spell checkers. Like injecting the Doctor/Lawyer/Engineer dictionary so that you don't sit there fighting with your phone to get some acronym to properly post.

You might not know but that term is used (slightly jokingly) by the porn industry
