I'm really impressed with this post in general. I understand that these concepts are beyond the scope of this page, but I hope to hear more from OP about getting more women prepared as candidates for engineering/software jobs. I agree that there is a gender bias in hiring practices, but I think it's a symptom of the more systemic problem driving women away from STEM fields.

I was disappointed in the "Re-evaluate your job post descriptions" section. It had the potential to be a really good point, but the descriptions were contrived. The "Average Description" was a straw man, and the "BETTER" seemed wishy washy. I'd prefer real world samples rewritten in OPs recommended voice.

fair enough re: "re-evaluate your job post descriptions" - i did not draft those descriptions. nothing on the site is original content. i find the descriptions could use some work, but do a decent job of illustrating the point that language matters.
