Very true. This all or nothing mentality is disconnected from the real world.

I'm currently diving into Machine Learning using Python + Scikit-learn, and I'd love to one day replace Python with Ruby. But looking at the current ML ecosystem I don't see that happening. Does anyone have experience building (Supervised / Unsupervised) models using something other than Python (including deployment)?
It might not mean much to you, but I'll pray for you. I wish you the best!
As for people who say one thing and do something else. People are fallen and hypocrites. I myself an still trying to do better, but I realize I'm still full of anger. I hope to better myself eventually.
Out of curiosity; did your spiritual life end with Christianity? Or did you continue your search?
A few years ago I started asking myself: "Is this it? Is this all that life has to offer? What's the point?". I was raised secular, and never knew spirituality or religion, but decided to delve in. I was, however, very much against Christianity and was willing to try anything except that. Long story short, after reading about religions, history, theology, I ended up becoming a proponent of the thing I hated the most.
Now I see beauty in life, and especially the future. My fiance and I are getting married, we now go to Church, we're both looking forward to starting a family.
I don't know if you're religious in any way, or interested at all. I was definitely not interested the first 30 years of my life.
If you'd like: I'd be willing to get into contact with you if you need to talk. Not to convert you to Christianity, but since we seem similar in this very narrow scope, maybe we can both learn from each other.
Regardless, I truly hope you find your salvation, as I have found mine. God bless!
This would be the only edge case in which it would "work". And even then you're still systematically rejecting someone based on who they are rather than what they can do. I'd rather lose to a coin flip.
> Or you have a “pure” meritocracy, but you spend more energy and money sending your recruiters to areas and schools whose students are more likely to not be represented at your company.
Then it's not pure, because you're actively avoiding people.
> If you can’t understand that you shouldn’t be commenting on DEI stuff.
Regardless if your statement is true or not, you believe we should exclude people from discussions because they might not have enough knowledge on the subject? (Ironic for a topic on inclusion)
There is none, nowhere in my comment did I say that.
> Not to mention that dei is not inherently unmeritocratic to begin with
It literally is. Meritocracy, people are hired by their merit. DEI, people are hired by representation. Equality versus Equity, polar opposites.
The answer is you don't. But just because the system isn't perfect doesn't mean we should just throw it in the blender. By that logic we should get rid of "free" health care / safety nets in Western European countries. It mostly works but it also gets exploited. How can you know people aren't exploiting the system? You can't know for sure, but we can do our best to find out.
