as leshow deleted their comment (edit: I can see it again) i'll explain:
* facebook got criticism for not hiring enough women as coders.
* facebook hired more women (probably lots of junior coders)
* they do what junior coders do
* someone turned the code review rejections into a spreadsheet and disregarded seniority (experience mainly), and made the issue about gender.
- smt88 10y agoWhat about studies of GitHub showing that pull requests are rejected more often when the contributor is known to be female? Or, to put it another way: when contributors are anonymous and genderless, work by women is accepted at the same rate as men?
- nathanasmith 10y agoThe Github results were based on the assumed gender of submitters based on things like having female anime character avatars and "female sounding" usernames. I would posit that methodology as highly flawed.
- jlebrech 10y agoare what is 'code', maybe they were just textual changes (eg adding a contributor covenant)
