Are you saying male investors won't invest in a promising start up because it's female-run?

It can be literally free to learn programming if you're a woman. Girls Who Code, countless initiatives, you name it, it's there. Yet if you check contributors of any open source project it's going to be all men. What if most women are just... not that interested in programming?

Any VC fund would love to have a primarily female start up on board, there just isn't one.

Now add megapharmacorps with their lobbyists and wining-and-dining of doctors.

Don't expect much progress (the kind you want) as long as there's massive money to be made.

Want to make the whole thing less profitable? Sure, but you can expect even less progress then. Money is a hell of a drug.

The current health system is far from perfect but you know what? It's a system and most people are living longer and better thanks to it. Is it possible to make so that 100% of people benefit from it? I think it's nearly impossible, but that's another question.

Calling names is fine. It's the violent riots that are getting annoying.

>I’ll be honest, my first response when I read this ad was despair. Despair at what the tech industry has become, despair at the endless struggle against hype and BS,

It's always been this way. You're just looking from outside in now.

>despair that tech will ever be a welcoming place for different kinds of people. Because the subtext of this job description is unmistakable: “we have poor, inexperienced managers, and you are only welcome here if you are like us.”

What's wrong with wanting to work with like-minded people? Was Redfin any different when it was a three man shop?
