Yes. There is a very visible pattern. Yes in 2006, but times have changed around 2011-2013 (Twitter&#x27;s IPO, Mozilla CEO fired, GitHub CEO fired, conferences excluding people for sexual jokes), and if in 2016 I had on my team a woman whose role was to be talkative rather than technical, I would find it sexist.<p>The pattern is &quot;If a junior woman can&#x27;t code, let&#x27;s promote her as team lead; If a junior man can&#x27;t code, let&#x27;s teach him to code&quot; - and this is wrong because both sides have everything to lose with this behavior.
