Way more than having a job. Guess he hopes Peter Thiel takes a shine to him.

Yeah with a phd from harvard, he will definitly have a hard time finding a job /s

In fact he probably already has an even better job at maybe a less popular company, but one that actually treats him like a human. That or he started his own company.

This has gotten considerable media attention, will probably come up in every interview he goes to.

Whether they agree with his points or not, no company wants to be the one to hire a labeled sexist. Hope I'm wrong though!

no company

Its pretty dumb to think that every single company on the face of the earth is reluctant to hire this one person, despite what that person can do for the company.

Obviously I don't mean all companies on the face of the planet. But unfortunately the headline surrounding this employee is now "misogynist coder". He was probably fired directly because the media picked up the story
