We need more articles about women in technology circles here on HN. Thanks for posting.

Did anyone notice she's sitting on a Swiss ball wearing stilettos and a clingy red dress?

Of course - but I think some of us wish that for once there could be an article about a woman in tech that didn't make a big point about her gender and include a staged, sexy picture. :/

This isn't a tech article. It's a women's fashion article.
