Quite honestly, the most concerning thing to me about this whole manifesto is the outright dismissive reaction it is getting from everyone.

I know that some people agree with the author and I want to see his point of view studied, analyzed and critiqued in the most objective and thorough manner possible. For instance, do we have evidence on gender biases among different engineering roles? If the answer is yes, is this bias due to organic inclinations attributable to inherent gender differences? Is any part of such inclinations - if any - historically/socially constructed? If it is something that has historical roots, is imposing diversity rules and regulations a temporary/transient measure necessary to counter an existing imbalance until unfair advantage is extenuated? Or is it something we need to maintain indefinitely?

Without rigorous examination of the claims in this manifesto, we are running the risk of having a growing base of believers of an under-scrutinized opinion, individuals who do not speak their minds solely due to social pressure.

I cannot agree more. The thing is: you cannot manage complexity while you're overwhelmed with minute details that currently govern the world of native development.

Quite honestly, and I have been on both sides here, my sympathy goes rather to the job seeker who is trying to find a better job in one of very few industries where you have to solve puzzles to get a job!

Not to mention tech. giants that ask inhuman questions just because everyone wishes to work for them.

Sorry, until things are different, I'll leak every interview question I get my hands on. Tech. companies will always be able to figure out ways to examine candidates.
