> How about a promoting vision of tech where people who can actually code well instead of virtue signal are promoted, whether they be male or female, instead of promoting this intersectional garbage?

I don't know, it probably has something to do with the fact that, despite a rich history of successful women in the industry, they are notoriously under-represented in leadership roles, continue to be passed over for promotion, and face cultural challenges all over the world. But don't take my word for it, go educate yourself?

thought as much.


You've been breaking the site guidelines quite a lot as well as using HN primarily for ideological battle. We ban accounts that do these things, so if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules, we'd appreciate it.


Cisco, VMWare, and Canva were all cofounded by women. Lynda.com is literally named for Lynda Weinman.

Depends on which country and state you are in. It also depends on the history of the company you work for, the reputation and history as presented by women working in your organization (present and past).

People talk, and if your company is known in public or private discussion groups as hostile to people, or advertises itself with a laundry list of red flag terms, you might not have much luck recruiting women.

The great thing is that there are lots of resources for companies who want to change the culture at their company and who can work to make your company more attractive to women and other under-represented communities!
