Excellent article, really well written!

I took a brief glance at your Dad’s blog, I couldn’t believe some of the stuff I was reading..especially the part about when you hire males you actually have to make sure their wives/girlfriends are on board too or they might freak out.

“Real engineers don’t burn out until their wives or GF’s do.”

“Churn and burn to find an “optimal” team”

Ugh….

I want to believe that this is some sort of elaborate joke. But of course its very serious.

You’re Dad has written some of the worst advice I’ve read in a while and I think he has some serious issues. But you’ve written some of the best words :)

Makes me feel quite lucky to have a Dad who isn't misogynistic about what I do at all and is very proud of me. He doesn’t have a tech background so maybe that helps.
