- Sileni 8y agoYep, point for point, you should probably be following this as a dude as well. The one I think is somewhat unique to these types of lists is the enthusiasm one. It's easy to push off hostile people, but it can throw you when someone seems a little too interested in you. Stay on the defensive, odds are they want you to start doing something that's technically their responsibility.
- rectang 8y agoThere's a little wisdom in that point for "allies" as well: don't be an ally because you expect recognition or something else in return -- do it because that's what you believe.

- mr_toad 8y agoAlso, many of these points are applicable to any job, tech or not.
- blablabla123 8y agoWell yeah, I mean if people go by the looks then you might have an easier time if your tanned, muscular, beardy and loud. I got the impression that in Germany this is the case for startup(like) companies. Anyways, for me this is great advise. Too often I got into these stupid situations where people take credit for my work, in the most sneaky ways sometimes. Or that I get these demotion-promotions. I used to love going to work but after 10 years it's just depressing.
- christefano 8y agoAs a man, an example from this blog post that strikes me as a piece of advice that I won’t follow. Men need to hear from other men that this type of behavior is inappropriate.
