      @aral @laurakalbag @ModelViewMedia @hyper_linda Suggests everyone should learn every part of design and building a game all at once! Silly.

      @oliward Yes, Oli, a female founder of a coding initiative is “silly” & “absurd” for sharing her experience. If only you could mansplain it.

          @aral with the best intentions: if you treat everyone as an enemy, you'll have no allies.

          @oliward With same intentions, perhaps find better words than “silly” and “absurd” to describe the work of people you want to be an ally to.

          @oliward No worries—Twitter’s pithy 140 chars doesn’t help with tone. Happy to have this conversation in person sometime w greater bandwi-

          @aral If addressing skills shortage is name of game, then diversity (still important) is secondary. Your combative response is unnecessary.
