«We've not seen anything of this kind of deceit in tech - a conference inventing speakers, including fake images - and the mainstream media covered this first-of-a-kind unethical approach to organizing a conference»

For 3 years straight, the DevTernity conference listed non-existent software engineers representing Coinbase and Meta as featured speakers. When were they added and what could have the motivation been?
Und nochmal: Ääääääh, WHAT?
Ein weiterer Beleg dafür, warum #Außerirdische uns nicht besuchen:
"Erfundene #Frauen als angebliche Sprecherinnen: #Entwicklerkonferenz wird abgesagt
Die #Devternity hat offenbar auch mit der Ankündigung mehrerer #Sprecherinnen hochkarätige Auftritte an Land gezogen. Die Frauen gibt es aber offenbar gar nicht."
Diversität faken für die #DevTernity - ich kotz' ein bisschen in meine Maske.
Weiß gar nicht wo ich anfangen sollte aufzuzählen was daran alles eklig ist. Allem voran aber die Reaktion des Veranstalters.
Wow.

If you've been living under a rock, the #DevTernity/#JDKon conference scandal has a pretty widespread media coverage:

Chaser: "Backlash over fake female speakers shuts down developer conference.
Male organizer also accused of secretly running female coder Instagram account."
Look at this toddler tantrum! "The amount of hate and lynching I keep receiving is as if I would have scammed or killed someone. But I won't defend myself because I don't feel guilty. I did nothing terrible that I need to apologize for."

The craziest story I've recently read is the one about the organizers of #DevTernity adding fake female speakers to their website to pretend there was more diversity in the lineup than they actually had.
