If you wrote some software instead of talking, like Grace Hopper, Barbara Liskov and thousands of others, people would respect you automatically in this space.



Ugly words from a throwaway account. Do you really believe that women should be seen and not heard?


That is not what they said. You are creating a strawman.


In fact, it is pretty much the opposite of what they said.


Really? What did I misunderstand here?


Likely you did not understand that the clause starting with "like Grace Hopper [and] Barbara Liskov" applies to "wrote some software" not to "instead of talking". '10938101' is actively praising women who write code, and disrespecting those (of both sexes) who only talk. The attack is not directed at women, but at empty talk by non-practictioners.
