Being software engineers, I don't think we need to worry about pretty women in the workplace degrading our work performance.

Hacker News itself is 94% male, according to the poll that was up a while ago. That's a ratio that goes unmatched at the nerdiest tech schools.




Yeah, but there are always those women who are "IT" hot. You know, the ones that wouldn't get a second glance out in the bars, but look pretty good in the workplace talking about hardware and whatnot.


And the men are also "IT" hot, so it evens out.


Ah, you're talking about the "geek goggles".

Of course there's always Leah Culver, who's just plain hot no matter how you slice it.


on my previous company, there was this hot admin..... . i mean hot.

Sometimes it was hard to concetrate, but sometimes it was actually motivating. It brought the competitiveness out of me, and I actually was pretty productive, while i was not thinking about stuff.....

But the upside of the whole thing that I drank a lot of water, since the kitchen was on that way, and I got to upgrade my wardrobe to look good.

Since then, I started dressing much better.


Not all of us are software engineers. I work in the legal field. My office is 60% women. SoCal women.
