This is the best copy I've seen. Thanks for this. The Gizmodo version looks like it was a copy/paste leak with all the links and graphs removed.
I've actually read this memo. Regardless of whether you agree with it, it's well thought out.
I really hate the false left/right divide in our culture today. Issues are not on one side or the other. This letter is hardly hate speak or disrespectful. It's opinions and the reasoning behind those opinions, as well as what the author thinks are good solutions.
I don't agree with many of the things the author says, but my own opinions are equally as controversial. I think they're fewer women in tech because let's face it, they're soul destroying job. Even when working with the best engineers where I rarely worked over 40 hours a week with a six figure salary, I was still sitting on an open work space, chugging out Scala code, for a business that sold overpriced intellectual property.
Men should be encouraged to take jobs that are more fulfilling even though they might pay less.
To be clear, I didn't create that site. I found it elsewhere and linked it here.
But yeah, to reiterate what I said in the article, the Gizmodo version is terribly lacking and not worthy of being called the 'full' version even though that's exactly what they did.
Thus inciting much hate about this guy's 'uninformed' and 'bigoted' opinions when they're just...not. Controversial, yes, but not uninformed.
The author may have a good libel case against Gizmodo, in that they published his document under the heading "Full memo", while omitting key parts.
