I'd argue it can hinder sometimes.
I hate to say it but it probably depends on the gender.
What I will say is anecdotal and probably controversial but it is just my observation:
I've seen all kinds of talented male devs and there's huge variance in their looks. Some good looking and some not.
But when it comes to talented female devs: they all looked a certain type. I'll let you people decide what I mean.
Yes, profiling people sucks but .... sometimes it yields results.

- brimble 4y agoNot the parent, but I assume they mean the nose stud, green or blue hair that looks like it's needed to be redone for a month (but was, in fact, dyed yesterday), and at least one full-sleeve tattoo, look. [EDIT] For the record, I've seen women with that look who weren't very good, and I've seen plenty who looked different from that who were good. I don't agree with their broader assessment.
- LAC-Tech 4y agoDefinitely seen that fashion, but never in a coding context. Must be an SF thing.
