Looks like about 20% of comp sci grads in the US are women. Seems like the very simple "why". As for that why... idk probably need to change how kids grow up en-masse. My guess, which probably isn't worth much, is it'll happen slowly, but will probably take a generation or two.

There's probably also some genetically encoded differences on risk-averseness (another guess). FAANG is a great gig and is much more predictable and stable.

I'm not talking about the "trusted by" section, but now that I'm visiting your site again, I see you've added that. When i looked a year back you only had the second section. "The power of open source" which then shows a ton of logos, including: affirm, box, axon, youtube, github, square, shopify, new relic, yelp, weave... If these are all your customers, that really wasn't clear to me! And that's awesome! You should be more explicit that they're all your customers.

I thought it was just saying, "hey, all these folks are using this open source thing that we're also using/selling".

Uhh wow... what they say is "With developer signups from the world's leading brands." Then list a bunch of big logos.

Reminds me of planetscale.com which has a bunch of logos on their home page, but really those logos are using vitess, not actually using planetscale.

Purposely misleading on both fronts imo. Rubs me the wrong way

I still can’t believe how much money VCs have pumped into this crap, legitimizing it.

Sequoia and a16z effectively force LPs to put money in it.

Even with a tinfoil hat I can’t figure out their endgame, is it really just to make money off of greater fools?

Is this essentially a "Sign in with Rownd"? Similar to how "Sign in with Google" works? albeit with some anonymous user-tracking helpers at the front.
