z0a, or anyone, is there a way to remove/obfuscate my submission somehow, if I realise that I'm fairly easy to identify by the information I've provided, and it puts my in an uncomfortable position?
I've lost the edit link btw. Thanks
Why not just a simple spreadsheet of salaries?

#172Wow, after ~90 submissions there have been 0 female-identified entries :/
And you're surprised by this? I've worked with maybe ~50 engineers directly, and 4 of them were female.

Otherwise, I think I'll just spam the doc with several random entries from the same employer, so that that one doesn't stand out.

I don't know what state you are in, but that is very low for RoR/JS dev. There are remote-only positions that would pay double that easily. That would mean 0 minute and you can stay where you are.
Where/how does one find such positions?
There are job boards that specialize in listings that are willing to accept remote workers. http://weworkremotely.com is one.
You could also easily top that on an online freelancing site like Upwork. I have friends that are Upwork-exclusive and make upwards of $200k per year. It takes a while to get that going, but it's a great option if you can swing it.

#175Will add my info. Would be great if there was a way to reliably export/save/print this sheet.

Get equity or get out - make the promises binding.
First off, I made the decision to go for equity last time place I worked. That does not always equate to being a founder. I was the only non-founder with equity and when I was fired (for being burnt out but that's another story) I lost in the end. On top of that, being the only technical person and have full control over everything, including domains, hosting, code, etc. It's not really like I can be forced out.
It is like you can be forced out. Get a binding legal agreement.

WeWorkRemotely (remote by default), StackOverflow Careers (remote checkbox), Indeed ("remote" keyword search)

There are also entries from people who identify as space lizards and attack helicopters, so I wouldn't consider anything in that field to be of value to anyone.
You're telling us the presence of joke entries somehow negates the absence of women? That logic makes no sense.
Just look at the number of flagged posts in this thread - it's obvious Hacker News can't take the concept of gender seriously. Why should the data be taken seriously?

#179The header row isn't sticky when I scroll. Come on Google, it's 2016.
Spreadsheet creator would be the one to change that. Google Sheets has the option available.
