You added an "also." The criticism was of "women-in-tech" advocates who are solely "women-in-tech" advocates/PR people/designers and who are not programmers.
- timr 13y agoYes, that's fair. She does say "women who can't code", so perhaps I'm interpreting that particular sentence too broadly. That said, she does make more than one disparaging remark about "ephemera"...I think it's safe to read between the lines here and have a conversation about culture, given that a lot of capable people (men and women) are turned off by the traditional societal definition of "hackers".
- krstck 13y agoI hate to include designers in that maligned category, because their work is actually extremely valuable. The existence of "women-in-tech" advocates who want other people to program (but not themselves) is baffling to me. Why do we need such people?
