Could the guys on this thread please stop it with the "pipeline" discussion?! Few women actually cite that to be an issue. It's distracting. Listen more, talk less.

Really? Spend some time in Kentucky, rural areas anywhere, or in Flint Michigan. It's less about finishing any level of education, and more about supportive family access to personal development interests, and an economy you can tap in

There is no "tech skill shortage," there are barriers that need to be broken to empower non-middle-class, US origin n00bz. Likewise: we need to get past our unhealthy obsession w/ only hiring others who mirror ourselves, pers

Nope. Also, a 1999 article posted to support a phenomenon that today is continuing to undercut women and people from disenfranchised communities IN THE US from receiving the support they need to enter the Tech labor force, is pretty lousy

Research has context. Individuals as backseat-scholars, often times miss this context. Conducting and looking-to research studies for a living, I know this well. Not a conversation I think is worth wasting time or energy on, when a beautifu

Evangelical Christians have these kind of argument tactics down to a science—how to convince anybody through peer-group research w/in communities of scientists intent on "proving" banalities that socialization more often over

It's abusive to troll any website posting radical or extreme POVs as "facts." HN is not a place I care to invest my time, and if any person here is sincere in believing that men are superior to women, imho they should be kick

50% of society are women. ~30% of tech employees on avg, are women—with women in technical roles or leadership being far less. Black Americans comprise 13% of our population, and Latino Americans comprise 17% of the population. In Tech, the

That's none of your business. How people "describe" sexual harassment in casual conversation, is not how sexual harassment is judged against policies, rules, and in common-sense consideration when evaluating punishment for ma

You're mistaken here, in confusing the internet as a court of public opinion that it is not. MIT (and all academic institutions) reviews cases in private. Behind closed doors. The same way the court system works. They make and deliver

Are you serious?! I was sexually harassed by one professor (on an aside from inappropriately hit-on by a couple others). Reporting it was scary as hell, but lifted a huge weight from my shoulders. There's not a hope in hell I would hav

It's not about sympathy, rather its about empathy. And listening. And mindfulness. Not skills the "ninja coder rockstar" person in their 20s, is likely to either have naturally, or to seek cultivation of. These are cultural p

Hi Paul—thanks for the kind wisdom-share. I've been doing research (through many methods) as a UX'er, for years. You're correct, the very personal stuff, is best done in a 1:1 interview. It's rare for researchers to pres

Hi Nate: I'm somewhat in the same boat. To get my business moving, I will need a CTO partner to drive the ship forward. Getting a minimum-viable-product built though, is all on me. Which I'd gone-out, assuming I could find friends

If Aviary owns any patents in the photo-editing realm, those alone were worth the acquisition to Adobe. Aviary has active partnerships with Yahoo! Mail and others, as their primary built-in photo-editing default utility. The second part of
