Hacker News Reader

Okay so I'm instantly biased given that this is my daughter, but I think that this is what our community should be about. A young person following her dreams and trying to build something, and put it out there for all to see.

Given the negative stories around the hackathon this weekend I think the good ones are just as worth reading.

Still disturbing that an audience as young as your daughter were participating, watching or present at Disrupt, and TechCrunch didn't even bother to properly and thoroughly screen speakers ahead of time.

Edit - In case anyone is confused, I'm referring to: http://techcrunch.com/2013/09/08/an-apology-from-techcrunch/

That's fantastic, and I agree that this is what our community should be about.

The problem is that it won't be about that unless we actively make it a place where she is welcomed and treated as a peer when she grows up and not just while she's young, unthreatening and not yet objectified.
