Hmm. I checked a few of the names that occurred to me immediately -- jl, DaniFong, rachelbythebay -- and you're right, none of them are high score candidates here.
Still though, I'm not sure if that's evidence of some kind of discrimination, or just evidence that more women have the good sense not to spend too much time on HN.
- kellishaver 14y agoIn my case, it's mostly a matter of browsing HN late at night, so I come in late to most discussions and usually don't have anything to add that hasn't already been said. Replying with "I agree" doesn't exactly add to the conversation, so I just upvote and move on. I've never felt any sort of discrimination on HN, or in the industry in general. There was one occasion (working on a contract at a young startup) where I felt out of place, but it wasn't intentional alienation, just different interests/priorities, and it had as much to do with age as it was gender. I had probably 10yrs on almost everyone else there and was just at a different point in my life.
