I really wish I could see the reactions to this tweet in a parallel universe where it was not written by a woman with died hairs. I have a hunch that the disagreement wouldn't come with personal attacks and judgments on OP's character.

Maybe I don't know how Twitter works, but I didn't manage to find a single personal attack or judgement on her character from the Tweet replies or from the comments here. The responses were rather on the contrary, enforcing her view with some anecdotal testimonies etc. This is a bit surprising given the provoking nature of her initial comment (calling peoples engineering roles bullshit)..

So what exactly are you talking about?

I'm sorry you couldn't find them. Here are some comments with personal attacks and judgements that I found on this very comment section here on HN:

> Have some humility with your cheap box dye, ugh

> When I see this kind of attitude I know that this person is burned out and needs to find something new to do.

> So, no offense, but get the fuck over yourself or find a new job.

> Yeah, when you start to describe your daily work with words like "burden", you're usually not in a good mental state.

> The Twitter OP sounds like someone that’s a bit full of themselves and struggles to see other perspectives—-a core skill to be a broadly respected leader.

> Toxic attitude. I hope to hell to not work with someone like that.

These are either attacks or judgements of her character, based on a single statement (or opinion if they actually went to read the entire thread).

One thing is to say "you are wrong" and another is to say "you are wrong and burned out/mentally unstable/full of yourself/unable to be a leader/toxic".

Again, I would be very curious if I would find these kind of remarks in a parallel universe where this thread was not posted by a woman with dyed hairs. Bias is a real thing and the fact that she's actually wrong in this instance doesn't make bias justified or less problematic.

Why go to a parallel universe? I thought it was an uninteresting stale rant and didn't know it was written by a woman nor that she had dyed hair until you just told me.

It would have been more interesting if any of the comments had brought up Christopher Alexander's observations from, I think it was, the timeless way of building....

Me too. The responses are so predictable, even on HN. Comments just take a different (worse) tone when the post is by a woman
