I proposed the "Techdel test" as a joke, it went viral, and now I feel like a fraud. npm is trying hard on diversity but still gets it wrong constantly. Bias is everywhere and nearly impossible to fully correct for. All I can honestly claim is: we give a shit, and we keep trying.

Arrington says Silicon Valley is a pure meritocracy where gender doesn't matter. He's wrong. Men don't take women in tech seriously by default, and that bias, multiplied across thousands of daily interactions, is exactly why so few women are here. That's on us, not them.
