This is some awesome writing. Bookmarked.

I agree, why the f are your comment down voted?

I didn't downvote (can't actually), but some possible reasons are: * The writing style was not considered relevant to the conversation about sexism. * No one is interested in the GP's bookmark list.

Darn, this article got posted about the same time I submitted a link. I did post that, since I did get bogged down for an hour or so reading the other posts on the site.

The author appears to be a female sysadmin, in Ireland, with some time in Google, or a contractor for Google.

Really excellent stuff, and you know, sorry for my irrelevant comment, but something, any comment can serve to get a deserved link up onto the front page.

I don't think comments on submissions reflect their ranking, unless this FAQ is not the whole story: http://ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

While R&D at Google may be a geek's heaven, the Operations at Google is a hell, an ITIL hell, 200% Dilbert [the ITIL's blueprint is the Britain's state healthcare IT by IBM in the 1980ies]. No wonder that she's snapped.
