content: Right now in the working world, everything is being sacrificed to social justice.  Merit plays no role in anything anymore and it is not just in the tech world either.  I have family in other professions and it's taking over hard all across America.  Medicine, law, academia, business, no place is free from this.  In the future, I would avoid any credentialed 'professionals' like the plague, since standards are basically non existent now. If you think this is going to make life difficult in the future, hell even in the present, I'd say you're right.
