It is a garbage fire btw. He refers to hiding your minority status as presenting a "neutral online presence"

Man With Advice Column Advises Women On How To Solve Problem; Problem Actually Him
-
Lot of people have already addressed why his "solution" is stupid—
-
it makes it harder for women to get credit for their work,
-
it contributes to erasure of women in tech, signaling that it is a hostile environment to any women who want to go into it,
-
and signaling to men both inside and out that tech is "their" space,
-
and of course it places the burden on the minority to hide their identity instead of correcting the bias in the first place.
-
In the column he talks about how *he* isn't biased but lots of people are unconsciously so. Where's their advice?
-
If you keep ~accidentally~ only ever hiring white men, you need to seriously consider the possibility that your judgment is trash.
-
Like an idiot at a casino only ever picking his favorite number on the roulette wheel.
-
"Not enough women in the pipeline" is a myth, "not enough POC" also a myth.
-
When your company's diversity doesn't even reflect the diversity of tech (ex.: demographics of CS graduating classes), you're bad at hiring
-
The tech industry wants to ~revolutionize~ the world and build robots and go to Mars but clearly a system to counterbalance bias is too hard
-
"Huhhhh the outputs are showing that something about this system is producing judgment calls that are off by this much like all the time"
-
"Welp, no way to automate a fix for that, better have everyone change their names On The Internet"
-
"Anyone here know anything about calibrating systems to produce more accurate results? ... no? Well, back to building this rocket, men"
