«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»

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."

Erfinde verdammt nochmal keine Frauen, nur weil du keine kennst.
Wenn du keine Freundinnen hast und niemand dich anderen Frauen empfiehlt, bist du das Problem.

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.

#DevTernity conference collapses amid claims women speakers were faked 🤦‍♂️

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."

"Eduards Sizovs @eduardsi:
So I've been called out (and canceled?) by listing a person on my conference's website (who never actually made it to the final program). JUST A RANDOM PERSON ON THE CONFERENCE WEBSITE canceled all the good work I've been doing for 15+ years. All focus on that.

I said it was a mistake, a bug that turned out to be a feature. I even fixed that on my website! We're cool? Nooooo, we want blood! Let's cancel this SINNER!

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 conference has always delivered on its promise. It's an awesome, inclusive, event. And yes, I like Uncle Bob's talks. They're damn good.""Arstechnica:

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.

I saw a video about this #DevTernity stuff on Monday and wow it's a wild ride, had to look at the Tweets myself this morning:

Imagine, expending all that effort to get people to go to your conferences, only for your underhanded methods to be exposed. I guess it's a lesson on reputation and marketing. Concentrate on legitimate, ethical forms of marketing because you'll probably get found out.

This guy Eduards Sizovs is Bill McFarland, Ja Rule, and George Santos all rolled into one. 🙄

(Remember Fyre Festival? And who doesn't know the exploits of Santos.)

"The amount of hate and lynching I keep receiving is as if I would have scammed or killed someone," Sizovs posted on X. "But I won't defend myself because I don't feel guilty. I did nothing terrible that I need to apologize for. The conference has always delivered on its promise. It's an awesome, inclusive, event."White text on black background:

According to 404 Media, Coding Unicorn bills itself as the “most popular coding account on Instagram." It's allegedly managed by a real woman named Julia Kirsina, but 404 Media found that IP logs, a YouTube video, social media posts, and other evidence seems to suggest Sizovs controls the account.

What I don't get about the #DevTernity thing is, who the woman in the pictures of the #coding_unicorn #instagram account is? Like there are dozens of them. How did he fake that?

So yeah I wanted to attend #DevTernity 🥲

Generating fake women speaker profiles to attract other speakers and paying customers (€789 / $870 per online ticket) out of ... laziness?

Apparently #DevTernity is cancelled now.

Warning: Bird site 🧵 ahead.

'But this is much worse. It appears that Eduards Sizovs has been operating social media accounts, including here on LinkedIn, purporting to belong to one Julia/Julija Kirsina, a full-time conference organiser, "tech influencer", and "software craftswoman".'
