I hope that isn't the issue but clearly there appears to be a trend moving towards that.Man writes sloppy code = YOU SUCK!
Woman writes sloppy code = DISCRIMINATION!
Why not? Seeing as kitchen can be a proper noun thus we could capitalize it.Whoa there dude ....... You don't capitalize "kitchen."
That's my beef with AA.When you push affirmative action for a sex because you think it is needed, when reality is that there are just less in the field, it means you have to hire more and more unqualified people for those jobs to keep this magic ratio everyone wants, as such one should expect lower quality of work, and when you have lower quality of work/less skill you should expect those people to get promoted less often if at all.
BINGO!The numbers simply aren't in women's favor at Facebook.
They only hold 17% of the technical roles at the company. That's not a large pool to begin with. The men have 83% of the remaining tech roles. The men simply have the numbers in their favor that suggests better code is statistically more likely to come from that larger group than the smaller group.
I don't think this has much to do with any sort of gender bias either when it comes to hiring. Women just don't have the same interest as men in these technical fields. I went through a Computer Science undergrad and each class had maybe, 1-2 women in it. The most one of my classes had was about 4 out of an average class size of 25+.
AA + agenda = unwanted results... Who suffers? The company not the feelings of people.I shouldn't say this as if it's the golden rule. I am sure Facebook has some talented female code hacks. But I think there could still be some validity to what I said even if it doesn't answer for all the rejected code events.
Ask me if there are female devs that are as good as they come, I am sure there are. But if you set hiring quotes to boost diversity ratings there will have to be an impact.
Well stated.People don't fail a code review to be mean. They fail a code review because the code has problems. Occasionally, the feedback will be somewhat frivolous or a matter of stylistic preference. Are the female coders more prone to frivolous feedback or are the criticisms typically valid?
QFTIt's a terrible social experiment that we're all going to have to pay the price for.
It's now hip to be diverse. Diversity in modern terms has nothing to do about intellectual diversity, but rather things people were born into like color of their skin, gender, sexual preference, religion.
If your hiring practices aren't only focused on getting the best person for the job, then you're not doing a good job in hiring. Eventually your company will suffer because your workforce isn't able to compete with others.
