Obligatory: "But you're leaving out women's historical involvement!"
"The Women of Fly Tying
OKAY BOYS, GET OVER IT: women have made some of the most important contributions in the fine art of fly tying.
By a Thread: A Retrospective on Women and Fly Tying (The Whitefish Press), by Erin Block, is a celebration of the critical impact women have made on tying flies. Erin includes the work and stories of Dame Juliana Berners, Mary Orvis Marbury, Elizabeth Greig, Winnie Dette, Mary Dette Clark, Elsie Darbee, Helen Shaw, Megan Boyd, and Frances Stearns, along with modern tiers Sharon E. Wright (Sharon is a regular contributor to Fly Tyer magazine), Cathy Beck, and April Vokey.
Do you like a good mystery? Erin solves one by uncovering what ever happened to Sara Jane McBride, the famed fly tier who was also America’s first entomological fly angler.
Erin’s flies have appeared in Fly Tyer magazine, and we will have fuller coverage of her new book in a future issue of our magazine. In the meantime, congratulations to Erin for making such an important contribution to the literature on fly tying!

No one can build your strategy for you-- you'll want one suited for you, and no one knows you better than yourself. Although I am sure certain folks can help: Life Coaches, Counselors, Psychologists, etc.
Find resources on: - Skills that BOTH interest you, and are economically in demand - Geographical areas where those skills have a competitive advantage and are in demand
i.e. bureau of labor statistics

[2] Fastest growing occupations: 20 occupations with the highest percent change of employment between 2018-28. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/fastest-growing.htm

I am an web app developer. No tech degree.
How? Built my skills. And strategically: I am creative, interested in business & entrepreneurship, interested in freedom, technology, and building things. And, I want to make good income so I can support a community where I help people grow.
Looking at those desires... it fits well with a Web App Developer career.
Likewise, you need to determine:
A. What do you want ("Goal". Not having a goal is like having a map without a destination: Going nowhere)
B. What you're willing to get what you want ("How badly do you _want_ to reach your goal? Do you really _want_ it? Again-- how badly? Are you willing to take 6 months off from work to grow your own skillset, full time, via project-based work, in order to leapfrog yourself into a new career?)
Just some ideas. It's not tough. Just ask a search engine the right questions. And know yourself.
Go through trials, tribulations, challenges-- One doesn't get to know their self by living an easy, meandering life. We get to know our self and what we're capable of by going through significant challenges-- By testing ourselves.
If anyone wants it bad enough, they can also teach themselves IT skills.
No need to bring classism into it-- Once someone teaches their self IT skills (while living homelessly, as I did), apparently suddenly they're part of a separate class? How ironic.
Is it? Or have you simply not taken a moment to do a little bit of research?
Here is a study with 500,000 participants, for example:
"Results showed that men prefer working with things and women prefer working with people, producing a large effect size (d = 0.93) on the Things-People dimension.
"Men showed stronger Realistic (d = 0.84) and Investigative (d = 0.26) interests, and women showed stronger Artistic (d = -0.35), Social (d = -0.68), and Conventional (d = -0.33) interests.
"Sex differences favoring men were also found for more specific measures of engineering (d = 1.11), science (d = 0.36), and mathematics (d = 0.34) interests. "
[1] Men and Things, Women and People: A Meta-Analysis of Sex Differences in Interests. Psychological Bulletin 135(6):859-84 · November 2009
Here's another:
"Career choices have been shown to be driven in part by interests, and gender differences in those interests have generally been considered to result from socialization. We explored the contribution of sex hormones to career-related interests, in particular studying whether prenatal androgens affect interests through psychological orientation to Things versus People.
"We examined this question in individuals with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), who have atypical exposure to androgens early in development, and their unaffected siblings (total N = 125 aged 9 to 26 years). Females with CAH had more interest in Things versus People than did unaffected females, and variations among females with CAH reflected variations in their degree of androgen exposure.
"Results provide strong support for hormonal influences on interest in occupations characterized by working with Things versus People."

you are acting like an intellectual weakling who resorts to ad hominems.
constructive criticism = jerk, only in the mind of a a person behaving as a sensitive weakling.
Thank you for the reminder.
We have to remember that often, articles of "information" present themselves as such, when in reality, they're intentionally manipulative (in terms of misleading titles, etc.) simply to profit from human behavior (manipulates attention -> clicking). Sad that this is what the news & media industry has devolved into.
They are driven by their own needs for people to click. Not needs to share accurate or new information... but rather, they must simply do enough to keep their lights on, regardless of presence of merit.
dissent in this thread has been flagged and quashed
we must ask ourselves why
what are they trying to hide
Don't worry about one particular study. Search for The Concept. Deduce for yourself its validity.
You are not objective-- you're human. That alone makes you are biased, apparently in particular towards prideful emotions especially when folks like myself expose your bias (such as towards "Appeals to Authority"-- snopes for example-- when I enlightened you to the fact that snopes is embroiled in controversy calling their "information verfication" reputation into question).
Clearly you fail to recognize this.
More stress => get used to stress => stress has less of an effect.
Just like any form of mental or physical training: Get challenged => Grow to meet challenge => The same challenges as before are now less challenging.
See: Stress inoculation
"The stress inoculation hypothesis presupposes that brief intermittent stress exposure early in life induces the development of subsequent stress resistance in human and nonhuman primates."
"People with the capacity to maintain healthy emotional functioning in the aftermath of stressful experiences are said to be resilient, or stress resistant (1, 2).
"Researchers have sought to identify attributes associated with stress resistant individuals, with the expectation that understanding the etiology of stress resistance may lead to the prevention of stress-related psychiatric disorders.
"One intriguing finding to emerge from this retrospective research has been that stress resistance is associated with childhood exposure to mildly stressful events (1, 3)."
These are not pro-tips.
More like newbie-tips.
Any good business person or engineer understands that objective, unbiased, un-emotionally attached decisions and validations are antithetical to subjective, biased emotions such as "love".
What a pedantic, naive, intelligence-insulting article.
It insults my intelligence to tell me what my "customers" want, given that they've never met my customers.
"I hate the accepted industry abbreviation. Use my abbreviation! It's better! Woo I'm so smart and and my opinion is so important."
How about... I hate SLC. Use MVP instead. (Or POC - Proof Of Concept)
"simple loveable complete" Please. Just... please.
This author sounds like another non-technical person trying to insert themselves into an area (technology) where they lack experience.
Simple Entryism.
First they enter a domain, then they want to start making changes, whether they are merited or not, and whether the person is knowledgeable/experienced or not.
So sick of it.
1. Stop trying to tell people what to do, sweetheart.
2. Stop telling me what my customers want-- You don't know me, nor do you know my customers.
3. Stop acting as if you represent anything other than your own inexperienced opinion.
"Love" does not belong in an engineer or business person's vocabulary, when it comes to validating value.
"Love" is subjective and BIASED.
Good decisions are objective, data-oriented, lack bias, and lack emotional attachment.
Please, keep gullible lovey-dovey hippies & "entryists" out of technology.
Well, this definitely makes me think that it's best if I self-host my git repos starting at some point in the near future.
Call it what you want. I don't know that the social engineering campaign was developed on one "side" or the other-- I assume its planning and implementation goes "deep"er than that, and pervades both sides of the aisle.
Given the evidence, who questions whether or not there is a social engineering campaign?
it's quite obvious to me.

Could you elaborate?
In what way are you aware that Gitlab is:
- seeking acquisition (makes sense that they would, I am just seeking some evidence to confirm the suspicion). To be fair, a large part of why I use GitLab is because it is not owned by Microsoft. Hence I am interested in whether or not GitLab will stay independent or "sell out". Certainly I'd lean on the latter, but again, seeking evidence of any planning on their part to seek acquisition.
- exploiting users (or how it would be part of the "game plan" -- I can see exploiting user data they've gathered while users use their free service... but that's capitalism. Is there any other way they currently or might in the future exploit users?)
But look-- if you're letting other people come in and define your vision for you... well, you're no longer doing management-- you're following someone else's vision and they're managing.
You own the product vision. You choose what to incorporate.
I'd ask google so you can find some books and in depth knowledge. A comment or two in a forum is decent for tips, but if you want knowledge, I'd go seek it where it is developed in depth: books.
It shows data for SJW-related buzz words-- word frequency over time.
I can go anywhere any get junk news. I come to HN for STEM/Tech & similar/related business news
I think given that this is "Hacker" News, founded by YCombinator, an technology incubator ("seed accelerator"), that the spirit of this forum is to keep the discussion purely Tech, STEM & Tech/STEM-business related. Not articles which have no clear emphasis on these core topics.
In respect to Social Contract, I'd prefer that YCombinator isn't flooded by every blogger who thinks their non-tech or STEM article should be posted on a Tech/STEM related news forum. I'd prefer that you don't consider this a traffic outlet to boost your articles' views & visits, especially then they're not Tech/Stem relevant.
In terms of links to tech companies hiring-- If I were blogging and wanted views from a Tech/STEM news forums' visitors, I would make the clear, overarching focus of my article Tech/STEM related. I think this approach is would be more respectful to the purpose & visitors of this forum.
OP: "Doo daa doo... let me just go post my article on HackerNews just because I need some views"
I don't see any value in this article posted here.
1. It's general content
2. It's not related to technology (or other STEM knowledge/innovations)
3. Many tech companies are hiring
4. covid is not effecting many software engineers as much as other occupations since we can work from home.
This idea that one group "seems" to be better than another seems rather vague and unsubstantiated, as does the basis for being paid more.
Being paid is a consequence of skills, value, productivity, sales & marketing, profitability efficiency, alongside supply and demand. If you're not marketing your skills (or don't have skills to market), that's no one's fault but yours-- no one owes you anything, regardless of 'communication abilities'.
Women are more people-oriented while men are more thing-oriented, on average (1, 2).
I don't think this is grounds for "All men should communicate like women" or
"Women's style of communication is more productive in [name some male-oriented group]", or "We should prioritize women's communication style in [highly technical groups which rarely include women due to biologically factual statistical differences in occupational orientation ^]", which is a dubious proposition.
(^ = differences between women and women in interest levels and at the tails of achievement in "thing"/"systems" oriented technology occupations -- see citations 1 & 2)
Notice the pattern.
Look at how much usage of words related to "patriarchy", "misogyny", "institutional racism", "diversity and inclusion", "social justice" have increased in NYT and other mainstream media sources from 2010-2020 (3, 4).
We see this again and again in media. Here is some hard data on this mentality and its pervasion of politics, media, entertainment, -- an obvious social engineering effort to anyone paying attention over the last 10-15 years.
Interestingly enough OP's particular study would not be here on HN if it had any other result.
I highly doubt a sample size of 34 for something as ridiculous sounding as "community smell" is going to be in anyway groundbreaking, at least when compared to actual substantial research on the topic of male vs female occupational interests.
The 2nd study here has 500,000 participants, for example. Not 34.
Bottom line: Identity politics is a worthless, and came into vogue in order to dissolve the Occupy Wallstreet movement which sprang up in the aftermath of the 2008-early 2010's Recession. (5).

It's a "divide and conquer" social engineering strategy to get regular people fighting each other based on in-borne traits (via tribalist psychological manipulation -- pervasive in our entertainment & political media currently) rather than teaming up to fight corporate control of politics, media, & the military industrial complex.
