This happened to me when I worked at TCS right out of college. I did the same thing as you and brought my case to HR and they didn't seem to care. When the client interviewed me I was very open about my actual skills and told them when something was just not true when they'd reference a lie on my resume that the company fabricated. Nothing negative ever happened to me during my employment there but I immediately started looking for another job.

I'm not a game dev, but a dev in a different industry and I am like your coworkers. I yearn for an office with no light but I am stuck in this awful open office with tons of light everywhere. My coworkers refuse to close the blinds and my desk looks right at the window. I hate it.
Agreed. I say this to people I am riding with all the time that are speeding.
Just use 4chan
I'd imagine this is common with all large IT consultancy services. I had bad experiences with IBM as well as TCS.
So you want to lower your standards based on someone's gender alone just to check a box? Seems like a bad idea to me.
Loopring as well
It may not be the case for all men but I'd say that the article is accurate when it comes to me.
I was one of those people tasked with investigating Watson and I had the exact experience you described. It was a huge joke. Tried out Bluemix as well, it wasn't a huge joke but it wasn't great either.
Agreed, I couldn't get past the first few slides without getting annoyed by the animated backgrounds and closing the presentation out.
Then you probably aren't the target for this service.
I recently had a similar encounter where I was slipping back into a bag routine and then looked in the mirror and freaked out. I'm back on track to being healthier and happier. It ends up taking way more of my time to prep my food in a healthy manner, go to the gym, and shower again but I think it is all worth it for both my mental and physical health to be in a good place.
I also stopped at this point. Seems like an absurd assertion with no evidence.
I agree that an equally qualified woman should be compensated the same as a man. What I fail to understand is why anyone cares that the tech industry has more males than females. If more males are interested in working with technology than females are then of course there will be more males in the industry. Why do people see this as some kind of problem that needs to be fixed? I understand that having a diverse team brings different viewpoints that might allow for solutions to be found that may not have been found without that other viewpoint. Is that all that this is about? (besides pay differences)
That was pretty comical. I don't know if it is just my connection but it seems to take a pretty long time to load a page with a relatively small amount of content.
"And they happen to be women." I don't know about you but I count three men in that picture. Not even counting the rest of the people that undoubtedly worked on this project who were a mix of men and women.
I actually had the same thoughts about ready player one when I read this article. It was such a interested book and being able to be part of something like that in real life sounds like it would take over my life.
4chan still has a very active community.
This seems like a much more interesting alternative to things like codewars. I'll definitely check it out.
I don't know if this was planned out by the author of this article by right as I read this sentence "At 1:19, 1:37, 2:30 and 2:48, you can hear, in quick succession, the clarinet crowing like a rooster, the cornet whinnying like a horse, and the trombone braying like a donkey." I was at 2:48 in the video and heard what the sentence was describing. If it was planned out then it was a very cool effect and a good way for me to feel more connected to the article.
This article leaves me with a very sour taste in my mouth. I echo the sentiment that others have expressed about pawning off the work of connecting with the person in need to be a bad thing. I also don't think that just because Facebook is in a position that they can do something about it that they should. It seems like a far too personal matter for them to be sticking their hands into.
I like how simple and easy this is to use. At what point would costs of hosting something like this become too much?
Awesome site and idea! I hope you figure out how to work your bottlenecks out
