i guess this time the book involves a foreword in every chapter written by a woman that explains why they shouldn’t be allowed behind a computer

I don’t have any examples personally, but I’ve been told by a lot of people that he has some views about women, race, sex, homosexuality, etc which many would find objectionable.

Edit: his Twitter is pretty much 50% programming, 50% GOP politics. He might be a bit more progressive than your average Republican, but he still expresses a strong anti-left/anti-“woke” set of beliefs.

twitter happened, I guess

But today I stumbled across a long twitter thread that I can only describe as intentional character assassination. The author of this thread is misrepresenting facts and making some pretty nasty accusations. Again this is not all that unusual, except for the fact that I was not invited to defend myself. […] The gist of this author’s thread is that I am a misogynist; and that I should not be taken seriously in any regard. I understand that efforts have been made to have me excluded from conferences, and to boycott the publisher of my books, etc.

This is just a lot about people’s reactions to something, but nothing about what that something actually was

It’d be nice to see what the actual something was so one could judge for themselves

Edit: I took a look at his twitter, and he seems to be pro-trump and anti-kamala and anti-walz, calling him a socialist who let Minneapolis burn, as well as transphobia thrown in here and there and more that I didn’t bother to read

…so I’m gonna go with “the people’s reactions to him likely had a point”

So… What is the problem of women in tech? Either I skimmed over this or he fails to get to that point at all.

Interesting, thanks, I didn’t know anything about that. I’ve probably looked at the book at some point, but don’t remember anything about it.
