Hey OP, hope you read this! I am from the Tri-Cities, so I can relate. At my very first job in high school I worked with a Flash developer from Yakima who had been homeless and living in a drug-addled abandoned building with no floor - so t

Is asking roles just a part of gauging the community or does it have an affect on what types of ShowHNs are curated for that user? I'd consider myself both a designer and a hacker, but would prefer to see more design and front-end oriented

Ha! Had a similar one; said what I didn't like about it and the two guys interviewing me looked at each other, sighed, nodded their heads and asked me the next question.

Loved the site when I first came across it a few months ago, but I'm really into the new interface and color mixer. Nice job!

Hey Chris, great way to get back! My only suggestion is to add some larger margins between your job listings for readability and maybe make the "Hey Craigslist’er" headline a little larger or a different color to stand out. Initially I coul

Exactly, the anonymous internet reacted in a way unfortunately unsurprising of them, but instead of focusing on the fact that trolls-will-troll, people continued blaming the dev community for adding insult to injury. I'm still getting r

Men aren't walking around the event floor because they aren't seen as sex objects. That is sexist in itself. But yes it's also discriminatory towards men for not having the same privilege if you want to view it that way instead (which is st

After being told he could bring a woman to climax with the way he ate dinner, he used "#Pyladies?" to solicit sex to anyone following that hashtag. How is that not completely inappropriate?

The definition of sexist: ".. prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex. Sexist attitudes may stem from traditional stereotypes of gender roles, and may include the belief that a person of one sex is intrinsically superior to a pe

Ugh, my apologies. For some reason I confused you for the person who said that upthread.

ITT: We bust an organization's balls because of what someone not even in it did and then focus on one woman actually in the group to diminish the good intentions of the entire thing. Newsflash: you can't make judgement calls on entire group

If your assertion is that PyLadies would use these funds to encourage that type of behavior, that seems counter-intuitive to their purpose (plus on their CoC page, it outlines that photographic harassment is not allowed, among many others).

Is that how you want to teach your daughter how to make money? Throwing your own kin and women you see as lesser than you under the bus? Spamming people over Twitter and Facebook with those same hateful messages for attention? Guilt-trippin

My opinion is that if this were a more sincere Kickstarter that focused on the child, I'd give it a pass. Instead it reads as a mother's ignorant views on sex and sexuality ironically being used to generate sympathy for gender issues and, u

I'd read the course was already paid for before the mom started the Kickstarter, and in their TOS it says you can't use it for "fund-my-life" and charity purposes.

Totally with you there. I am a huge fan of Amanda Blum's post on the matter, she really got down to the nitty-gritty of it: don't be a dick, you're ruining it for everyone. I also had the privilege of meeting and speaking to Blum a few time
