The comment I was responding to implied that the reason why Rails doesn't have a lot of women in its community is because it isn't "full of powerful ideas." That is, of course, nonsense.
- bitwize 18y agoI see more women involved in academic math and CS than I do in Rails (and many other industrial computing communities for that regard). And Rails conferences used to be a lot more female-friendly than now. Women are turned off when your ego exceeds your actual capability, and somewhere along the way the Rails community took the ego path.
