Yeah wtf is that? People were doing that at Maker Faire, and I was like, 'lady, your poor kid in the stroller is going to get trampled or fallen on if you keep shoving like that, and thanks for running over my foot with it'.

I used Glass Door but at the time, before you could see anyone's salaries, you had to post all your info including title, and in small companies, it's very easy to figure out who has posted. Is it possible some numbers are skewed by women not being as senior? I know it's a lot harder for me to be confident about my…
omg, you know what's funny? I had pictured him as Haymitch before they cast Woody Harrelson.
Please don't hate on ignorant carnivores. I honestly didn't realize how many other good protein sources there were until my bestie went vegan.
I'm sorry, I couldn't get past the pic of the awesome pink Chucks
omg, i had to check and see if you were my friend Alicia. She's doing this now and getting me back into it. LOL.
Nah, it's a real thing. I'm a female engineer, and I'm in talks with a VC firm to find me a better gig. They have an obvious interested in the firms they invest in, so they work out way better than headhunters (who are mainly interested in their cut and not the best match) for engineers interested in startups.

I was hoping we'd be moving in the other direction. In 2001, I was still the only female in my class to graduate from CS or CIS. Maybe if the tech companies weren't so male centric? Company/Team outings are male centric. The non-technical groups get to do team building exercises like cooking classes together. Me? I…
That's crap. There is much more to computing than programming. There are hardware experts who do nothing but manage storage. You can be a kernel expert without programming. Talk to any SysAdmin who isn't a coder.
I feel like maybe this is a metaphor for why, a well experienced Systems Engineer, really hates computers now.
Seriously.. what is that? Do people just rely on others at home to clean up after them? I even have a cleaning lady, but I can't live in filth and I still clean up after myself. My cleaning lady just does my deep cleaning every two weeks. I fail to understand why people in offices are so disgusting and inconsiderate.…
Ugh seriously. Our office manager has to send our regular emails reminding people their mother doesn't work here. Why do male engineers think it's ok to dump their uneaten soggy cereal into the sink? There's obviously no disposal and it clogs everything and gets nasty. Then this other guy comes and brushes his teeth…
The biggest problem with Silicon Valley and sexual harassment at tech companies is that as soon as you report it to HR, you become the pariah. You're the one that may have cost that guy, who claims it was innocent fun, his job. And all of his buddies think you're the prude and you get included in nothing. And HR makes…
Oh. I've never ever thought that. But I guess I'm pretty successful in another field, so it never occurred to me. I honestly read through the list and thought it was fairly unrealistic.
As a single female engineer, I do notice that people with kids receive more leniency and sympathy when they have to leave at 4pm to pick up their kids, or miss events to spend time with their family. I end up being the team figurehead who attends everything when no one else will because I'm single and no longer have a…
Am I the only one that thought the article read a little overly snarky? I usually love that, it's just becoming more prolific lately. Like #4... are people really resentful of books that do well? (Aside from Shades of Grey, which has horrific grammar.)
Oh, I was intentionally being silly... just go with it, would ya :)
Oh, is THAT why? I always wondered
