How would that work in practice though? Should the voices be scrambled or something and not all interviews are done online. If there’s an asshole who disregards a person because of their name or gender, then it will just happen at the interview, instead of during the resume.

Better having more people like Maya speak up and have more women game developers out there, showing they exist. It’s really about inspiring women to become game developers. But if you don’t see them, how can it inspire anyone?

With that said, I’m pretty sure the statistics are upward going.

Take a moment and think about what you just said. You presented a potential obstacle to implementing their idea and then a fairly accessible solution to that obstacle, and then concluded that it somehow can't work, and then focused on 'inspiring girls with the work of woman CEOs' which suggests you think it is a better way to get women into game dev. However, only the most corporate-brained person would ever look at a CEO and feel inspired, and it wouldn't be to make a game. Please don't dismiss a real, practical measure, which could be implemented tomorrow and would make discrimination much more difficult, in favor a hand-wavey possible benefit via the nebulous space of 'inspiration.'
