Do you really think women don't want to put "developer for the Linux kernel" on their resume?
That because of their gender they are instead are just drawn to new and shiny languages/frameworks?

- andrenth 8y agoThat’s not what he said at all.
- berbec 8y ago"Most women don't value having the dude-bro credit of "having worked on the Linux kernel"." "You're far better off learning <javascript framework of the now> and work in some hip young startup with hip young people." Edited for clarity
- andrenth 8y agoYou’re selectively quoting. He said learning a fashionable js framework would be more desirable because few companies hire kernel hackers. He said nothing about women being drawn to it because of their gender.
- berbec 8y agoYou're right I am. I was attempting to place extra emphasis on the sections of the post I thought helped highlight my post. I'm sorry I wasn't doing it properly. I took the entirety of the post in a different light you did, which I think is my fault and against the HN guidelines.
