- minimaxir 10y agoAh, missed that note in the intro. That's an approach I disagree with, especially since there are many female engineers who are willing to discuss these issues openly and would benefit from the exposure from The Macro/HN.
- cbcowans 10y agoAbsolutely, but we feel like there’s room for more than one approach here. Part of this experiment is to see whether anonymity on both sides allows for a freer discussion. That being said, if women who join the conversation would like to use their real names we'd be glad to post those.
- andreasklinger 10y agoAlso those women might not want to diffuse their personal brand. Eg. I imagine it to be quite hard to be primarily known for engineering work and not for "example for female in engineering"
- wnissen 10y agoLove, love, love the pseudonyms chosen, by the way.
- favorited 10y agoLoved the choice of pseudonyms – particularly Ada and Grace!
