Complex Writer Totes Bummed About 40 Hottest Women In Tech Slideshow
LatestIt’s only been a few days since the controversial firing of developer evangelist Adria Richards, who was let go from SendGrid after drawing the Internet’s attention to a bunch of fratty programmers cracking wise about “dongles” and “forking” during a speech about making the tech community more welcome to women. Nobody learns anything! Yay!
Luke Winkie, the author of Complex’s 40 Hottest Women In Technology slideshow, says he didn’t mean, you know, “hot” women. He meant “cool” and “mostly normal looking women” who were doing “really interesting” things in the tech field and going “far beyond” the nature of the list. Unfortunately, he says that a number of Muggle-looking women were cut in editorial. Don’t you hate when that happens? Nobody—least of all some of the “regulation hotties” included in the final actual slideshow—was happy.
