> Many are built with great design in mind. I've gotta disagree simply because a lot of the people posting to ThemeForest are just trying to make a buck on their hobby - so many of those themes look exactly alike; they're not spending s

No, I was definitely implying that it looks unnecessarily similar.

Personally I think Adium needs a lot of work, both in UI and functionality. I've used it for a long time, but I'm not particularly happy with it without going out of my way to extend it with add-ons, especially when it comes to IRC. Would l

Instead of feeding the trolls responding to one aspect of my post that nobody actually has any evidence of either way (David brings it up with the weak defense that he thinks people are too quick to rush to sexism and that's a "problem" -

I'll highlight these since it comes up here a lot (and is the second comment on that page, right underneath the ever-expected kitchen joke) -- > Geek technology culture not appealing: > Women: 20.6% Men: 34.3% >

This is an issue regardless of these incentives. It's the same as being told your brother must have gotten you into gaming; just being a woman isn't enough for you to be an individual with your own brain.

No one's saying women need to be coddled; the problem is that people recognize that the current state of the industry/the internet are jerks . You can only tell people to ignore bullying so long, especially when those doing the bullying ar

I don't think it's condescending; I think they're just trying to say that anyone can accomplish anything even if it seems the odds are against them. Would you be just as offended if it said "teenage boy?" The second statement you call out i

Totally agree, I think the Kudos system implemented in Svbtle and other clones is fundamentally broken until there's a way to undo it. Just hovering and waiting in place for a trivial action is a pain (and many people toggle with it acciden

No, thank you! I really liked this post and I think it's something we should be looking into more considerably. I've found it very interesting that many new programmers - many of them women, at least from what I've witnessed - create anoth

I may be wrong, but I think some of the current commenters are missing the point (re: everyone should program, gender doesn't have anything to do with it). I think the question posed here is that if we care so much about fixing things; why

I think that when we're including non-technical founders and marketing managers, it waters it down. Not to belittle anyone's achievements on the list, but realistically, you might as well put women working at Geek Squad on here, too, as the

Possibly a little OT, but am I the only one tired of "Under 30" lists? We already have a problem with ageism in this industry and when it comes to women, I think we're really doing a disservice to those who have long been in the field (and

By the last paragraph, I get what he's saying (too many companies build something they'd never pay for in hopes that there's an audience that will), but I think he's arguing two different - but vital - aspects of testing. There's dogfooding

While color psychology is an excellent topic, I think this post relies too much on data that isn't reliable/was meant to be marketing linkbait vs. legitimate research. The real tell-tale in those buttons are their styles rather than the col

Why would you expect people to be okay with the fact that the support center they called can't help them? You literally have one job to do and that is managing their emotions and feeding them [falsely] empathetic lines in a tone that does

Despite the Reddit-esque linkbait title, I could understand the sentiment about someone being worried about doing a ShowHN themselves. However, my problem with the video is that it didn't really add anything to the non-audio version of the

That doesn't really add up if he's saying it was originally from Github and he doesn't know the source. I still think you should find some original art, which it looks like you are.
