When I read this article by one of Wired UK’s “100 most influential people in the digital economy”

It’s by Milo Yiannopoulos; no surprise there at all.

He writes: “the male mind is, in general, better primed with the sorts of skills the industry values; men are simply better suited to most technology jobs.”

The reason there are no women at conferences is due to condenscending assholes like Yiannopolous who think that women are somehow inherently “dumber” at technology.

I’ve played five of these games. (Two of them Flash versions only.)

I’ve also hilariously bought at least two of these games twice or possibly thrice. There were pay want you want sales and Steam sales involved.

Cristina Cordova: Transparency in Startups

Cristina Cordova: Transparency in Startups:

cristinacordova:

In startups, employees expect a level of transparency that doesn’t exist at large companies. At Apple, only the people who need to know are in the know about new products and sensitive internal company information. Contrasting this with a startup, team members are taking both a financial and career risk in joining and transparency makes employees feel secure in their risky decision. This starts with employees knowing where the company stands and it ends with knowing where the company is going.

“If you start your post off with any variant of “from an evolutionary psychological standpoint” in a thread about sexism/feminist issues you need to seriously consider not clicking the “add comment” button. Also, look up “projection”. I can honestly tell you that no, the reason I support women in tech is absolutely not so I can “get babes.””

“I suggested to one of the high school girls I mentored that she would make a good web developer. … She looked at me and said “Really? You think so?” It’s obvious no one had ever told her that. This was probably the first time she ever considered this as a potential viable path.”
