I've never seen any other business advice, backed by evidence, downvoted and kill on this community for literally any other subject. It really says a lot.
People would rather bury the idea that this industry is male dominated then make sound business decisions.
- skinkestek 6y agoIt is - hopefully IMO not sound business advice - and it is not backed by evidence that this is even a problem - or that the "solution" will solve anything, - it is backed by anecdotal evidence of a thing many of us dislike intensely: namely innocent organizations and individuals being hounded into crazy things because someone thinks someone else might get offended. I say as Rowan Atkinson: feel free to insult me! When I was young and vulnerable people did that to some small degree anyways and now I am old enough to don't care and/or get back at them, and meanwhile it has been an invaluable lesson. In my case: Just stick to the facts, and don't accuse me of things that aren't true. Or: in other words, if someone suggested your codebase should have comments in Russian because "think of the Russian children" it would be downvoted to.
