An Open Letter from a Male Project Manager to Women in IT (krishashok.wordpress.com)

Interesting. My company's offshore IT shop is headed by a woman and many of our talented senior developers and team leads are women of varying age, marital and parental status. I don't have much counter-evidence to this post, but it makes this operation sound atypical.

Either way, this was well written and will probably keep me paying more attention next time I'm over.


What is this troll doing on the front page?


"You are likely to become pregnant any time and therefore a potential 3 month billing-loss candidate as far as I am concerned."

Do you guys think of this when hiring for one of your startups?


My experience is that in the corporate world (i.e. non software products) women dominate IT. I once had the pleasure to work in an IT department where I was the only male.
