    Motherfucker, women used to be the vast majority of programmers. A woman was the one who led the team that wrote the code to get to the moon. She also coined the term ‘software engineer.’ So don’t give us that bullshit that the vast majority that are good at computer science are men. And no, the world is not replete with women who claim they can choose but can only print to the console. Where the fuck have you come across that?

    People like you are the main barrier for women getting into programming.

      Absolute moron. I knew damn-well that you were going to mention Hamilton at some point because every simping imbecile does. Every single exception to the general rule, that males are more interested in IT in general, is proclaimed across the world as though it disproves said rule. Look, these women are smart, capable and deserve all the success they’ve attained. That does not mean there is not a general rule.

      People who are generally smart and capable should not care about my approval to enter into programming. They’d do it because they love it, not for someone’s approval. Frankly, if some woman doesn’t enter into programming because of something some rando like me said online, I very much doubt she was much interested in it to begin with.
