i guess this time the book involves a foreword in every chapter written by a woman that explains why they shouldn't be allowed behind a computer
Dare I ask?
I don't have any examples personally, but I've been told by a lot of people that he has some views about women, race, sex, homosexuality, etc which many would find objectionable.
Edit: his Twitter is pretty much 50% programming, 50% GOP politics. He might be a bit more progressive than your average Republican, but he still expresses a strong anti-left/anti-"woke" set of beliefs.
A true man of the 70s-80s....
hearsay
sigh I looked at his Twitter and it's pretty standard right-wing politics. Maybe slightly more progressive than modern right-wingers, but still vomiting GOP propaganda.
ok, I'm left, but how's that of any relevance.
if you can't put a name or even quote an allegation, maybe you shouldn't comment.
there are lots of intellectually dishonest people intentionally misrepresenting what others say in the hopes others - like yourself - parrot it just for likes and visibility.
It's not exactly news, his invitation to a conference was pulled because every other speaker refused to share a stage with him over his behavior / the politics he spews on Twitter.
twitter happened, I guess
But today I stumbled across a long twitter thread that I can only describe as intentional character assassination. The author of this thread is misrepresenting facts and making some pretty nasty accusations. Again this is not all that unusual, except for the fact that I was not invited to defend myself. [...] The gist of this author’s thread is that I am a misogynist; and that I should not be taken seriously in any regard. I understand that efforts have been made to have me excluded from conferences, and to boycott the publisher of my books, etc.

So... What is the problem of women in tech? Either I skimmed over this or he fails to get to that point at all.
This is just a lot about people's reactions to something, but nothing about what that something actually was
It'd be nice to see what the actual something was so one could judge for themselves
Edit: I took a look at his twitter, and he seems to be pro-trump and anti-kamala and anti-walz, calling him a socialist who let Minneapolis burn, as well as transphobia thrown in here and there and more that I didn't bother to read
...so I'm gonna go with "the people's reactions to him likely had a point"
exactly, vague accusations in a lot of places, nothing remotely concrete.
…so I’m gonna go with “the people’s reactions to him likely had a point”
...and this is exactly the problem
You know what? You can find enough concrete shit from just reading his twitter for 5 minutes. Stuff posted in the last few weeks.
Like what? Some L takes on wars or politics? Because that's all I'm seeing.
ah yes, as we all know statistically these people tend to have a very sane opinion of women
Interesting, thanks, I didn't know anything about that. I've probably looked at the book at some point, but don't remember anything about it.
