Yes you're the exception.

Somehow we arent really adept at interviewing at what the day-to-day requirements of a position.

Instead were much more interested in edge-case stuff like bubble sort.

I wonder if this is some assessment of "are they capable of substantially more complex tasks, and if so, safe to assume they're capable of less-complex minutiae.

Seems about right, as often these evaluation type things are proxies.

Generic HR inbox?

Social Justice nonsense.

Look at the systems which reward X behavior in Y sex.

Assuming that access to partners is a primary behavioral motivator ( it is, it just is ). Then what rewards exist for women undertaking novel enterprises?

Very little. Or substantially less compared to males.

The systems running internal to humans don't preference the sex-barganing position of a woman when shes got money / power which comes with starting companies.

More simply:

Power / money doesn't beget better mate-optionality for women in the same way it benefits men -- so why would she do it?

Please stop the ignorant pandering.

Is there something Im missing with pull requests? Or is it that even programmers like UIs?

1) Git log becomes useless.

2) You're merging code via a UI, without ANY granularity whatsoever.

3) Does it not just FEEL dirty doing this in a UI?

4) A little appeal to authority: http://www.wired.com/2012/05/torvalds_github/

5) and a bit more: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17#issuecomment-56637...

6) Efficiency lost w regards to minor changes. Youd actually write a comment to have someone change something and then RE-issue the pull request? Sure you would, because youre middle management.

Pull requests seem to be a hacky way for management to get involved with something they understand at the loss of control in arguably the most complex phase of coding: INTEGRATION.

"How is the pharmaceutical industry responding to its difficulties? One could hope drug companies would decide to make some changes—trim their prices ..." It seems this, extrapolation, or "logical next step" well encapsulates what the writer knows on the topic of pharma. On what planet would one derive this conclusion from the precursor of lessening profits?
