toomuchredbull commented on Ask HN: Is Cyber Security a particularly masculine position    · Posted by u/toomuchredbull

I know strong women in security. I cringe when I see “awards” for women in IT. It’s like they are saying “congrats for your success even though your a woman!”

I’ll go one more. Pride month. Who you care to love is meaningless within the context of our professional relationship. I don’t care. Isn’t that the goal?

Ya I mean, clearly there are women in cyber security but I mean, I'm non-confrontational and I know that wouldn't be a good fit for me. Unless I knew the woman was up to it I certainly wouldn't recommend most of my female acquaintances to go into just for, say, the money. It must suck being the one to delay a deployment because of risks, or being a road block all the time.

I don't know how to deal with it but I'll tell you what not to do. Don't let it build up and overtake you like I did this year. Find a way to deal with it or you can feel like your world is falling apart.

I have not signed up to triplebyte because I don't want to do their screening, but this doesn't make it better. It defeats the purpose.

The Amazon what now? I didn't even know this was a thing. If anything they probably did it to atttract developers to a non-successful platform.

>It is very common, especially among novice developers, to be proud of the number of line of code their application has.

My experience has been the opposite. Novice developers tend to be proud of how terse and dense their code is, and optimize for minimizing line count.

I also disagree with that author's views on this point. For example: "Simply put, it means “the less, the better”" - No, it isn't.

In my career I found that maintaining unsexy, and maybe a little verbose code is never the problem. Usually that code tends to be more easily understandable to even junior developers and therefore is less prone to bugs being introduced because developer made the wrong assumptions on what the code was doing. Code that is too clever for its own good is where bugs tend to occur.

Yup... I find this with swift developers they love to write code that is just a series of : ? ! type symbols to do what should be 3 or 4 lines of readable code into one line of unreadable code.

Canada has a lot of the same problems, it is finally getting a bit better but we still have a long way to go.

I like NFTs as tickets like with Veefriends. It makes scalping and whatnot transparent and allows you to easily have a great market in the second hand. Imagine season tickets as NFTs. Able to transfer them, hold them in the long term, and teams can earn on each transfer.

Its hard to look at those examples, along with Biles, and not think that the precedent has racial undertones. Would the reaction be the same if these were white athletes, or would they become marketing powerhouses responded to with amazement at how they are operating at entirely new levels.

They passed such rules for Wayne Gretzky as well.
