Hilarious watching this Female I.T. CEO speaking truth.
Especially for any fellow Software Engineers who know this is oh so true.

Everyone has to have a first post. What’s you’re issue with it?

Most people post for a while before getting up the gumption to start their own thread. Just unusual

On one hand I agree with her that diversity for the sake of diversity is dumb. On the other hand, she used her anecdotal experience to come the the conclusion that women are bad programmers and lazy, which shows she’s a tech specialist who doesn’t know the first thing about real leadership or data evaluation.

You seem triggered.

You must be a female "programmer".

You must live a sheltered and fearful existence if you feel that it takes a lot of gumption to start a thread on a message board.

Girls don’t “get their hands dirty” per the speaker… on a keyboard?

I did like the comment that basically the girls cheated their way through school and are worse programmers

Fellow programmers know that what she is saying is spot on.
Men are the better programmers.
Men are the programmers that end up working late on the hottest and most complex issues.
Women fill a quota, keep a low profile, and leave the real work to the male programmers.
Are there rare exceptions? Sure, but what she says is true for 99 percent of programming departments.
And in school the few female programmers were always cheating or trying to find a guy to write their programs.

You got downvoted for this probably because the guys who downvoted don't understand the value (or lack thereof) of using anecdotal evidence to reach a conclusion.

Well... yeah. She used her personal experience in trying to recruit worthwhile females and found the ones she ecountered to be lacking. She used a ham-fisted way of saying "we should hire based on competency, not gender" and "trying to change IT in order to make it more appealing to women is hampering the field by putting out more half-assed coders simply for the sake of attempted gender balance." That she wasn't eloquent doesn't diminish the truth of her stance.

i'm not a programmer but it adds up

men are better at problem solving and the technical work
women are better at administrative and organizational stuff (that's why so many 1st level managers in corporate america are women)

both are important

And some people have thousands of post and shouldn't start any threads, but they do.

a lot of boards have a minimum post count or delay for new accounts before they can start new threads. TD would benefit from a similar restriction.

Women aren't better at administrative and organizational stuff.
They are just unskilled positions that you can easily fill with quota hires.
You can't fake being a skilled programmer.

Kind of like you could much more easily hire a female head coach in the NBA than you could find a woman who could actually play in the NBA.

she clearly isn’t a native English speaker so she was using a figure of speech to get the point across, it’s common sense to understand what she was saying

comments under the video are good to. it took courage for her to get up there and speak her truth, a man could never have said those things in public or they would be banned from working ever again essentially.

it’s important for us to figure out why certain things are happening, but society has gotten really lazy with certain topics because blaming “white privilege” , “male privilege” and other “systematic” is easier than solving the actual issues

solving women in IT/STEM isn’t as simple as “male privilege” and “hire more women” but that’s what the media and feminists try to do
