that is just sad. yet so many will say sexism does not exist
The funny thing is that in my experience female programmers usually have above average skills. I suspect it’s exactly because of this bias against women in tech. Where an average or below average dude can easily get by, this is much harder for women. As a result this bias acts as a kind of filter which results in female programmers being on average a little better than male programmers because all the average or below average ones get filtered out early.
Tbf, the original photo was already discounting her abilities. Saying “can program code” for a lead SWE is saying like “can do calculus” for a physicist.
It’s annoying sometimes that people just assume that those who don’t work in tech are completely clueless about tech.
It’s also really funny to mess with people who assumes that.
MIPS?! Poor girl.
can program code
Such a weird sentence
I manage a software engineering organization at an aerospace company and if I had to rank all my folks, the women would be disproportionately high on the list. It boggles my mind that anyone would discount someone’s programming ability because of their gender.
This is some good shit. As a white American male, I say: fuck sexism and racism. You go, girl.
