Story: Berners-Lee challenges 'stupid' male geek culture
As a hiring manager...
The last time I sent a JD to a recruitment firm, they sent me precisely zero applications from women. And I'm supposed to hire one how?
Frankly, more women need to enter the tech field and STAY in it. There are a whole host of reasons why they leave, and its not my place to analyse and fix each reason, but the bottom line is that women need to choose it, and embrace it, as a career.
I also think Berners-Lee should stick to his core competency, rather than engaging this debate.
