Yeah, I like it to. I wish I could convince other ladies otherwise. Plus, it's just a job, and it's a good job that allows me to have good job security. I think their jobs are boring. Sure, they are working in "cool" fields, but a lot of th

I don't think either article is really that great or deep, but Laura's is a lot more interesting and better written. Faruk's reads like a well-meaning bland HR presentation that everyone ignores. I also am disturbed by how dismissive you ar

I think it is interesting, but what really fascinates me is that I'm one of the only America women in my office and the only one who doesn't come from an Asian immigrant family. When I talk to my American female friends, most of them seem t

One of my first jobs was just debugging some awful legacy software. Let's just say I got a lot of negative feedback.

I am a software developer and farmer too. I wish I could say I get most of my money from farming, but not yet. However, the fact I can do both is a testament to the flexibility of my career in software dev. And if investments start going el

Anecdotally, I'm probably a good example of this. Being sickly, I was homeschooled for a lot of my childhood, so I didn't have a peer group to tell me what was cool for many years. I did interact with other kids through church and various a

Those were just example of simple tasks that a junior developer can do. And a junior develop in my company is someone of any age who has less experience. What kind of industry would we have if we only hired senior developers? If we said jun

It's called comparative advantage. Have junior engineers work on easy things that are a waste of time for senior engineers to do. Personally, I'd rather not have my $200,000 a year senior engineer working on debugging cross browser javascri

"I'm not sure why our experiences differ so substantially" Sounds like you have bad projects management and let people go cowboy and build bad things because you don't communicate with each other.

This stereotyping reminds me of stuff that was said about women in the past. Woman are this, women are that, we don't want to hire women because they are XYZ. People don't say it as much explicitly anymore, but I see it in their attitudes.

If the supplements were not enough, I would worry about why you are not absorbing them. Have you been screened for Celiac disease?

Yeah, but are most of us who are capable at code going to want to deal with Appengine? Definitely not my own first choice.

Having worked in academic IT for most of my career, it's also really hard for me to imagine many professors using this considering how many of them have called me about problems due to WYSIWYG editors and whatnot. I guess this is mainly for

I remember I had an all-day interview once that was very similar to the one described in the original question. It was at an IT Department at a big university. It was brutal and I almost left. They asked me all these ridiculous brain-teaser

Yeah, regular cabs have their place. I take them when I can, because they are cheaper. But in Chicago many will give you a problem if you don't pay in cash and many neighborhoods are underserved. When it's 3AM and I'm in a far-out fairly sk

Yeah, lots of broscience there. There are other communities where people actually are looking at the scientific literature and testing hypotheses on themselves. I think the fitness stack exchange is closer to that. That was my methodology f

r/keto diets are usually low carb high fat, with moderate amounts of protein. For high-protein are you referring to protein and kidneys? Bones? "I'm perplexed by people who initiate insane diets that deviate from the dietary habits of human

I suspect neither you nor the original author have worn many women's clothing or shoes. Sometimes things look uncomfortable that are not. And why does it matter anyway if my clothing accurately reflects some abstract startup ethos? Startu

"The women have it tougher. Their business casual is neither business-minded nor all that casual, a confusing melange of sundresses and sensible slacks, gossamer sweaters tossed over spaghetti straps." That seems weirdly sexist to me. I gue
