@tnnn indeed you do my good friend.

I've started working with Android again, and every time I do I say i'm gonna learn a few useful commands...

...Now that I have enough desk to leave things on, it was time to highlight the vajisus out of it xD

@thmnmlst we just have to make @dfox aware that we can be bribed...

...Like, if we had something squishy, something orange, maybe round...

...We wouldn't mind a few +1 less :P

@thureos mostly depends on what I'm doing:

If I need to follow instructions to the letter the Vertical is basically for that (PDF/reference), top one for music/video/chrome and laptop for codding.

No reference usually means I know exactly what to do or only need to check from time to time, in this case top for Chrome/reference, vertical for music and cheat sheet, laptop for codding. From time to time I turn off the laptop screen, then the left one shares chrome/reference and music/video.

If I'm following a course (like in the picture) top one for course/videos/tutorials, vertical for cheat sheet and music, laptop for codding.

Vertical: If android, for the virtual device.
Top: If web/app dev, for webpage, db or app.

Ps: to be honest when changing/building the workspace I thought about leaving only the vertical and the top monitor, but I quickly found one on top of the other created a more "seamlessly" experience, it's much easier to move your eyes than your neck...

@thecritic It's a Magicforce 68 with Gatheron Brown switches, the cable runs alongside the laptop and it's hidden by it.

Btw, highly recommended for codding as long as you don't use function keys that often :D

@thmnmlst not really sure to be honest, but I might have indeed pissed of the wrong person xD

126.3TB?

Damn, what in the dark lord's name you have there?

@ChrisCooney I'm with you on that, it's both unprofesional and inappropiate, LinkedIn is not Tinder, and you are not asking her out, you are talking on behalf of companies about job openings.

I'm just not on board with the whole "he thinks you are stupid because you are beautiful", an all that squeezed out from a joke about her being beautiful...

...I actually think we are the ones being sexist asuming he is calling her "not smart" instead of "rare", which, let's face it, she is.

@benrooke So let me get this straight, if I'm handsome and a female recruiter said this to me, everything is fine, a curious anecdote... If it's the other way around, we must fight for equality!...

...Because "history" and "Mad Men".

I'm sorry, but over reacting is not equality, equalty is not asuming someone is asking you about "your coffee making skills" when he calls you "beautiful", equalty is encouraging at most, not providing an advantage.

If you want to change history, don't repeat it.

@nblackburn I concur, I'm even on board with such programs, not because they (woman) deserve the same opportunities, that's rather obvious, but because engineering was "for guys" a few years ago, and we slowly need to educate our youth to decide what they want to be, whatever that is.

That being said, I don't see how she referencing those accounts helps the cause, is this an example of sexism? or is it just inappropriate observation?

Will a guy in the same situation (he being handsome and getting the email) generate such responses to the situation at hand? will a female recruiter be considered sexist? or just inappropriate?

The minute we start victimizing people based on slightly inappropriate comments we make people less likely to consider an engineering field, not all girls/boys are willing to fight against "injustice", if we make "engineering for women" look like a war, we are loosing.

@g-m-f It's probably a matter of perspective, I see "real" as "there are not many like you", which is true, and also as "I'm not very mature, so I think this is being cute", which is inappropriate...

...Not as "I'm sure you are fake", or much much worse "how good are you making coffee"...

...Those ones wouldn't receive 2 job offers.

I personally think we are being trained to over react to anything that might look in the worst case scenario sexist, or else we are oppressive and misogynistic.

And I'm sorry, but I don't support that. I like women in engineering, I fully support it, my girlfriend is gorgeous and she is an engineer (telecommunications and electrical), but for exaple, I don't see why @GirlsWhoCode is a thing, are we not supposed to be equal?

Jesus, this is going to be highly unpopular, here we go...

I don't see the big deal, he is not asking for a sandwich, he is complementing her for being beautiful in a fun way, inappropriate? f*** yes, but not "creepy" or "sorry about that" or "he almost asked you for coffee" inappropriate...

I'm dead sure more than once you have thought the same of a female/male co-worker, I know I have.

Basically this is a "damn, she is beautiful, smart and knows how to code", and that's not offensive.

Furthermore, after the unfortunate introduction, he carried on presenting both offers the more polite and educated manner there is, never doubting her capacity or performance.

If he was doubting her knowledge for being a beautiful woman, sure as hell he wouldn't have spent the time presenting them.

PS: Let's not make life a "gender equality seminar", or eventually saying something as innocent as "you look rested today" will be took as a sexual offence/proposition.
