There should be a rule you need so many posts before posting in OT and PT

women need to do what God intended them to do: stay home and raise kids and take care of the home. Women prefer to do what satan wants them to do.

Easy, killer. That’s just the norm on message boards. But I’m sure jumping straight to personal insults won’t ever get you burned in the future

Truth bombs always upset people. Especially coming from someone supposed to be in the oppressed group..

You must be a female "programmer".

I mean, her experience is what it is. I don't think as a female she would make that up? Now, her comment at the end sounded like she had an ax to grind.

I was so nervous with my first post back in 2018. You are right to encourage them.

Fellow programmers know that what she is saying is spot on.
Men are the better programmers.
Men are the programmers that end up working late on the hottest and most complex issues.
Women fill a quota, keep a low profile, and leave the real work to the male programmers.
Are there rare exceptions? Sure, but what she says is true for 99 percent of programming departments.
And in school the few female programmers were always cheating or trying to find a guy to write their programs.


Somebody lost a promotion to a female....

i am in cybersecurity and can confirm that 90% of the women i work with are not great programmers or engineers.

i emphasize the 90%, because i know some that are sharp as a tack, but there are more than a couple that are clearly diversity hires. networking, programming, and coding is a pure merit based world. you're either good at it and capable at your job or not.

I've managed many software developers. My first reaction to this woman's comments was that they're wrong in several ways.

Then I realized, what she is saying is EXACTLY what female developers need to hear... whether it's 100% true or not. Put down your purses, stop worrying about your hoo-ha (i.e. DEI shite). The keyboard's that way.

Where is she wrong? Well, the guy who's toiling away in the middle of the night all the time might not be that good. Yes, sometimes it reflects that he's "in the zone," something brilliant is forming in his mind, and he doesn't give a shite what time it is. He wants to make this thing.

Or maybe he's just not that good. Or maybe he sucks at estimation, or at communicating his workload. Maybe his management sucks, in which case he'll leave, if he's really good.

I think roughly half of college students of either sex have the innate ability to program a computer. The rest will never get it.

A lot of women just don't want to program a computer. Those that really do face no particular obstacle in doing so. (I think she and I agree on that.)

she used her anecdotal experience to come the the conclusion that women are bad programmers and lazy, which shows she’s a tech specialist who doesn’t know the first thing about real leadership or data evaluation.

Her experience is my experience. I’m in Engineering. I have recruited some very good women engineers, but very few of them put in the work that a substantial number of men do. In general, men want it more. THAT’s a fact!
