Anyway, in my experience, people who are confident in their skills and knowledge, regardless of sex, gender, occupation, industry, and do on, won't discriminate. Instead, they'd be happy to help, show around, and create connections.
Pretty much sums it up. Anyone who gets offended and so PO'd that they have to post a rant online about "women are why we have bugs" isn't living in the real world.
We have bugs because software is complex and the time constraints to meet business demands are becoming tighter so things get overlooked. Not to mention software is getting more complex and the baseline for an acceptable feature set more complex as the world grows - e.g. think about how now it's pretty stock standard for chat clients to support video as well. This certainly wasn't the case a few years back.
Teams are also much bigger than they used to be because of all this complexity. That's the reason why there are "more bugs" - though I'm not so sure that's even a valid statement, but if it is, it's because of complexity, not women... that notion is so utterly ridiculous.
I completely agree with you. And software will only get more complex, and deadlines tighter, and requirement broader. Ha! I did have an interview where they wanted me to do web design, UX/UI, ML, and data visualization. That alone sounds like 4 different teams/departments. Imagine the quality of my work if I were to do this? Yes, it was a startup.
I kinda didn't want to break down and discuss every paragraph he wrote because I wanted to hear/read some opinions 🙂.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
