People are turned away. Anyone saying that "code is the only thing that matters" is completely wrong. If that were the case, why do we have conferences? Why do we have communities?
Because in a generally-male community, which open source is, as TFA reports, it is assumed that, unless otherwise stated, your gender is male. If you do not correct that assumption, you are seen as being disingenuous. If you do correct that assumption, you can be seen as trying to curry favor with your minority status. There is no winning.
That's what conferences are for. Also, forcing someone to hide who they are just so they can contribute is incredibly demeaning. That is the definition of closeting.
So, when someone is being dismissive to me at the office, the correct thing to do is to bash their face in with a keyboard? What kind of passive-aggressive conflict resolution are you proposing here?
Ah, yes, the MAD style of conflict resolution. They send one of your guys to the hospital, you send one of theirs to the morgue! That's the free software way!
It has been frequently a topic of Slashdot posts. Even a modicum of Google research will come up with some gems. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/... - here's one
Welcome to the game of power dynamics! If you call them out, will they make your life difficult? If you call them out, will they physically attack you? If you call them out, will they use their authority to subtly destroy your life or career? The answer to all these questions is "I don't know!"
Yes, because they should be learning to do original research by reading the sources Wikipedia cites, and then also finding their own sources. Since Slashdot is not (yet) a university, we don't have to be experts in the field (FSM forbid)
Searching for stolen property without knowing the person who stole the property shouldn't require a warrant.
Wrong. The police do not get to violate civil liberties because some piece of property got stolen and they don't know whodunit. That's the entire point.
There is a stark difference between what consenting adults do in a private place and what consenting adults discuss doing to other, non-consenting adults. Some of those discussions are even illegal (not many in the US though, and I hope it stays that way).
You don't even need Kickstarter, there are print-on-demand self-publishing for board games. Generally, board game publishing requires minimum runs in the thousands. A few years ago, I worked on the first version of TheGameCrafter, which makes it even easier. Then, once you've got a few prototypes, you can move it onto Kickstarter for a full production run.
Try to take time off to look for a new job, or even, as the article mentions, because you're actually sick, and you get fired for cause. No unemployment while you try to find a new job. Tell someone you're looking for a new job? Have a stupid potential employer phone your current boss about your resume/interview? They'll find a cause to fire you and you're out. No unemployment.
Hanging on to the bottom rung makes you keenly aware of all the ways that you can possibly be fucked.

Since you need power structures in order for harassment to carry any weight/threat, yes, a disproportionate amount of harassment is men against women.
Don't fall into the common techie trope of expecting everyone else to explain everything to you by spouting a pathetically-informed opinion.
They said "no sociopaths". Marketing is practicing psychology without a license.
Do you want a job doing development work? Github is your new resume! Do free work to gain the possibility of doing paid work!

Or even there's just the one guy who's a dick to women, but there's the other 10 guys who just let him do it.
Who judges merit? How do they judge it? Is it a fair judgement? How do we know? What about all the biases that everyone has?

Ah yes, the Ender Wiggin style of conflict resolution

If you'd bother to read the article, she addresses this point. Technical excellence does not require uncaring aggressiveness.

It says "Romans go home!"
Wrong. The police do not get to violate civil liberties because some piece of property got stolen and they don't know whodunit. That's the entire point.
Except those wiretaps were lawfully obtained with a search warrant approved by a judge.

Since Github reports half of my Perl 5 code as Perl 6 (all my test files), neither show up on the report. But, keep thinking that as you want.
Does her partner know about you? If so, then what's the problem? If not, then she's a stone-cold bitch.

"If a worker quits or is fired they are not eligible for UI benefits."
Though perhaps California has marginally saner restrictions.
