#2Are there any high profile women in this industry who haven't been treated like shit in some way such as this? What a nasty bunch of people we are. Are we (developers) the douchey 80s guy of the 21st century?
Re: Speaking up
#3So apparently, she is a web designer (or a web design agency owner), but it takes an effort to find a link to an actual portfolio. There is the Resources page but it's full of her own photos from every angle. The About page is too full of important aspects of her professional background including how she takes her coffee (apparently 3rd most frequently asked question).
I understand that she is the brand and she's probably doing more public speaking than HTML coding, but I find this sort of "I am the only girl in web design, totally braving it" blatant self-promotion to be very off-putting. It feels calculated and manipulative.

I agree, all the stuff I read it's like going back a century, we are supposed to be on the vanguard of a brave new world, not re-hashing the same dumb ass attitude that has contaminated the past decades. Grow up, get on and be nice.

I don't see how criticising the formatting of the content without discussing the content adds anything. Was there a point you wanted to make ?

It's not hard at all. You go to the about page (http://www.sazzy.co.uk/about/), look at the text where it says "Sarah is the owner of design studio You Know Who", you then click through to the company page (http://www.youknowwhodesign.com/) and click on Portfolio.

That's because it's her personal site, a place people often promote their own personal brand/speaking/photos/achievements/etc. Click on her company name to be taken to http://www.youknowwhodesign.com/ which is a more typical portfolio/agency site.

I am not convinced that her motives for posting this are genuine. This sort of deeply personal story has no business of being attached to the Resources and the FAQ pages on how to get her speak at your event.

Pretty sure sazzy.co.uk is a personal site about Sarah, the person. Work is all at http://www.youknowwhodesign.com

Everyone is too polite or concerned with HN decorum to say so but you're a fucking asshole.
