#1 Coding is one of those activities where the difference between good, average and poor is very large. I recall the best coders are 6 times more productive than the average, and I am willing to bet they are disproportionately men.

Anyway, it is an issue of fact. Men are either better coders on average or they are not. Any and all opinions on the subject are irrelevant.

#2 To read the comments I've seen over this he's definitely right about the shaming of anyone diverging from the google groupthink.

#3 I think the author (and you) are just sprouting opinion yourselves when you attribute this difference wholly to biology.

The left likes people like you, it lets them off the hook for the way they've run society, in particular the whole k-12 education system being fucked up in such a way as to disproportionately affect women and minorities.

#4 Can't wait for the new slow short white folks playing first string in the NBA. All for diversity!

#5 BTW, you can suck up a lot of inefficiency and failure when you're a monopoly. Someone should look into that.

#8 I think go-ogle knows there are around (and a big guess here) 80 top IT architects. If they start to eject from the SJW infected corpse it's not going to take long for go-ogle to crash.

#9 I meant, if he's good enough at covering his tracks, BP.

#11 Wonder if he talked to his lawyer first, because he is clearly smart enough to know he'd be fired and have a chance at Googles deep pockets.
