Comment on Paul Graham and the Manic Pixie Dream Hacker

Comments

The article is pretty spot on. SV IS stuck on the idea that the only "real" hacker is a white male, no more than 24 years of age (occasionally non-white).

What stuck out to me when reading the various articles about PG's interview that caused the hubbub about gender in tech was actually more his ageist stance than the perceived sexism. I'm glad someone wrote something calling that out.
