- bitL 9y agoI was upset she was wasting her talent going purely after money (she was a winner of math/programming competitions). And men are often way more idealistic, willing to endure hardships for ideas instead of cashing out whenever possible. She ended up programming in the end due to job market, but could have achieved way more than working for Accenture-type companies on BS assignments.

- bitL 9y agoNot in my country (Europe), much less sexist to what I hear about US. Maybe you are talking about NYC?
- bitL 9y ago> then you are sexist As somebody that spent significant amount of time mentoring females, getting such a blank statement from a random person on HN feels absolutely motivating to continue to do so. Thanks!
