The author didn't write it, nor did he attempt to support it. I think the author made the mistake of quoting too heavily such that it's easy to mistake another author's words for his.
- yakshaving_jgt 8y agoI think Brad Frost made it clear at the beginning of his fluff piece that he agrees with everything Heydon Pickering wrote. > I have about 3 blog post drafts covering similar ground and apparently we see very much eye-to-eye on this
- vinceguidry 8y agoI didn't think I'd need to quote his actual words, but that's where we are: > Whether it’s explicit gender bias or not, it’s important to recognize that people are afraid to speak up about how they feel for fear of getting dog-piled on by a bunch of “real” developers. That needs to change.
- threatofrain 8y agoSounds like you both might be right? You’re both quoting more than commentating. It looks like both of you feel the quotes can speak for themselves.
- vinceguidry 8y agoI don't know how useful a discussion of gender bias can be if everybody's misrepresenting what people say.
- yakshaving_jgt 8y agoThat’s a fair point (as was your point earlier), and I won’t refute it. Based on the tone of everything else written by Frost and Pickering here, I’m not taking each sentence most charitably.
