But she's not CS. She's like "breathing girl who wants to play with the boys at the cool company."

That's the irony of the thing.



I'm trying to figure out what this comment means. What's a "breathing girl"? Who are "the boys"?


It wasn't that deep a comment, at all. It was more like, she's a girl who wants to work a technical company but doesn't have discernible technical skills that she's touting. But as someone mentions downthread, she's just applying to be the secretary. So, I stand corrected.

But there was no sexual innuendo embedded in my comment, at least not as intended it anyway in the slightest.


Who are "the boys"? The technical people? I was pretty sure they had "girl" developers too.

Also: we should acknowledge that there are technical roles that don't require lots of training; for instance, first-tier QA, or technical support.


She's not dead.
