Cat parasites. Communion wafer in nostrils.
Comment on: Who says girls can't code?
What stands out to me, is that these women are: young, childless, and a bit nerdy. For some people, that's fine.
Unfortunately, society is starting to punish women for not being that way.
Comment on: Who says girls can't code?
Honestly, I think the shitty ones harass management and HR until they're bribed off with positions. And then they crony eachother in. It's an entire scam economy.
It's a social justice tax. Management carves the cost out of the working man's hide, too. Now he can't afford anything, and has to rely on his wife getting a job.
No one cares of it destroys a civilization, if there's a little money to be had along the way.
Comment on: Who says girls can't code?
In my experience, girls can code fine. The problem is that (some of them) bring on politics. I mean, only 1 of 3 of the black girls I know (at work) can code well, but even they are fine. Yeah, they don't seem to be as enthusiastic or innovative about it, but they're mostly competent.
The problematic ones are visible from outerspace. You can see their venomous personalities through walls. Most of them don't want to be coders. They want to be managers or execs, but they can't hack it, so they try to get sideloaded as assistants or coordinators. Toxic idiots who waste everyone's time.

This could work.

Comment on: Future of Programming - Rise of the Scientific Programmer (and fall of the craftsman)
Tl:dr: old man angry that young men make money and buy hamburgers, confused by new things.
Comment on: What programming language SHOULDN'T you learn?
You can make a lot of money with Cobol. Banks and the defense industry still have a ton. If you ever want to do research, learn matlab. Swift commands a lesser market share, but in specific areas it can give you a huge advantage. For a lot of embedded work, c is too highlevel, and you'll need to learn the appropriate assembler.
It really depends on what you want to do.
Comment on: When do you actually make programs
Python has libraries to do just about anything. I once had a job that consisted mainly of reimplementing python programs in C++. The scientist tended to create everything in Python and let the interns and God sort it out.
Python is shit anyways. Use TypeScript, or JavaScript, or Bash, or fucking Java.
Anything written in python is unmaintainable. The entire python toolchain is wet garbage.
