Many people who speak about diversity in tech don't actually have experiences in engineering so they don't understand that race and gender are not that important in engineering. Engineering is very multi-cultural and…
Is it even a benefit to work instead of taking these hiatuses? Parenthood can be a vacation or hard work depending on whether you are a good or bad parent. Just being a parent does not mean that it is difficult work.…
The onus is on the person claiming sexism to prove that the disparities in promotions are the result of sexism.
Meta: What do we think about this type of native advertising? Is this allowed on HN?
I'm not sure if creep is the best word to use here. Creep is a gendered term like slut or bitch.
Yes because tech is much more culturally diverse, with large amounts of immigrants and second generation children of immigrants. If you've ever worked at a large tech company, you would know that the average team is…
> This is people being assholes because they know they can get away with it. The sentiment among many men working in the tech industry is that you can get crucified for making even a small compliment to a female. This…
The most logical and clear answer for me (assuming I didn't already screw up by making assumptions about the data format, problem definition, etc.) is: 1. Figure out which appointment starts first 2. Check if…
Has anyone thought of a good redundancy scheme for yubikey? Physical object authentication is great except physical objects are less durable than brain memory (or at least, if my brain memory is gone then I probably…
Engaging in identity politics opens up pandora's box :). Men have a more difficult time obtaining social, emotional and physical intimacy with other people (in both romantic and platonic contexts). For the purely…
That's not really relevant since both situations most likely have similar ratios of occurrence when comparing tech to those fields. I can imagine that bosses in the business development/marketing/real estate fields make…
Anything that isn't scientific or technical in nature gets downvoted, including posts from the other end of the spectrum like false rape accusations and gamergate. The exception is news from the large tech companies and…
Or any company with a low % of Americans. Many big tech companies and unicorns have a high immigrant %. There is very high cultural and background diversity in these companies despite low racial and gender diversity,…
Attacking someone for ignorance is very unproductive
In most tech contexts, diversity means racial and gender appearance-only diversity. There is very little to no thought put into background or cultural diversity. The different groups (immigrants and 2nd generation…
Specifically getting a CS degree might not be worth it but most bootcampers have a college degree. The selective bootcamps give a priority to people with STEM degrees from good schools
It's still very trivial to tell a customer rep that you lost your SIM card and have the rep send all new communication to the phone number to a separate SIM card with a pre paid phone.
Whatever works for you but these questions are very rude and unnecessarily intrusive. Imagine the questions with the genders reversed.
I don't think many people in tech feel "normal" at work because of high cultural diversity. Racial and gender lines are less significant compared to nationality and primary language. Tech has massive language and…
I am very skeptical of these types of stories about tech companies. The outrage is generally misplaced. People see one bad incident and think that there is an issue with the entire company. The fact is that there will…
No I think it depends on when you went to college. IIRC, it was 7.5% for 2006-2008 and was around 3.8-5.0% in 2010 - 2015

> Well, I'd like to know why women weren't interested in programming A better question would be, what are girls doing in their child and teen years instead of isolating themselves in their basement playing video…
I hope your political beliefs aren't implicitly biasing your teaching against the males. The primary education system seems to be failing males (more female college graduates every year) and it wouldn't help if you…
Not in the traditional American frat boy sense. I'm estimating that > 50% of programmers in the USA are recent immigrants or the American children of recent immigrants.
