yeah the communal nap area and movie room don't look too attractive...
Actually, I think the "inspiring" (his words) Aston Kutcher poster makes it so the shot at hiring anyone with actual taste is out the window.
It's pretty clearly a joke...
I think they kind of meant it like "We are working so much we do not have time for girls".
Not because of the comment in the video, but because I can't imagine that that startup culture and living/working space would be appealing to any female engineer.
I think it's a bit presumptuous of you to talk on behalf of all female engineers. I know at least two that would not mind living there.
really? interesting...any females on HN that wouldn't mind living there?
Yes, me. Given the right company, I would be all for that. His "Females?! In MY ridiculous hacker house?!" was not a sell, but otherwise I see no problem. That startup culture and that space might not be appealing to you, but please don't speak for all females.
