Are you concerned at all that your job posting may be unnecessarily gendered? I understand that lots of people enjoy board games and beer, but in America they have a lot of strong associations with male-only culture.


If you would've clicked through and seen that one of the co-founders was female, maybe we could've avoided this comment.


I did click through before I wrote it. It looked like the 'programmer' side of the business was entirely male. That doesn't really mean anything- there's not enough female programmers to go around- but it didn't assuage any of my worries about the post.

I might be a little sensitive though. Before I read that, I had just sent the thread to a woman I know who is looking for a new job, and her immediate reaction was "I don't want to work with brogrammers."
