Most disheartening about this interview is Marissa Mayer's view that gender doesn't matter in tech and that eventually gender balance will come. She is worth $1.4B. She wants women at the table but doesn't see a role in doing anything proactive about it.

@amydiehl@mstdn.social Oh, I think the excerpt that @kims@mas.to highlights is pretty disheartening also. Marissa Mayer appears to lack empathy of any sort, whether for her own daughter or for the entirety of women — but another billionaire (or is he still a trillionaire?) said that "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy," so it's cool in the tech world. https://mas.to/@kims/117504434934052711

@amydiehl@mstdn.social I was underwhelmed by her new Dazzle launch. Just goes to show that tech folks of any gender can be shallow even when developing apps and platforms that explicitly target women.
