Today in “men explain technical concepts to women who have more specific and deeper knowledge”:

* I was whinging about a page that required Chrome (which is, by definition, NotAFreakingWebPage because SomeRandomBullshit piped to port 443 does not a web page make).

* I was told that Chrome and Safari shared an underlying library.

Which: I was on the Safari team for 5-1/2 years, including the time when Google forked from WebKit, which was in 2013.

So.

@deirdresm Ugh. So sorry you had to endure that bullshit.

As for me, I’m looking forward to the first motherfucker who tries to mansplain Web browsers to me. Poor bastard won’t know what hit him.

@lisamelton That's because you're a Girl Who Started Two Web Browsers and are therefore more awesome than I am.

(This one was trying to be helpful, so I'd give him half a cookie.)

Edit: started one plus a working on project I remembered as being partly a web browser. And Netscape.

@deirdresm @lisamelton
Started zero web browsers, now feeling severe imposter syndrome

@inthehands @deirdresm @lisamelton There's always time! You could start one tomorrow!
