"Debugging" the "Gender Gap" in Software Engineering

My college is hosting a talk saying that "there aren't a lot of women or minorities" who are programmers and thus OPRESSION.

What should I do Sup Forums? Should I attend?

Here is the trailer:

The cyber is mine

bump, get in here fags this shit hilarious

I want to see the number of dislikes on the trailer before and after Sup Forums

Women can't program for shit because it requires logic and reasoning. Computers do not have feelings.

don't forget to leave a comment telling niggers to hang themselves :D

(literally can't % 2) == 0

at 1:11 isn't that a guy? or am I a horrible misgenderer

We should get on this problem as soon as we fix the low number of male kindergarten teachers.

BTW I am earning a degree in computer science and nobody encouraged me, I just fell in love with it and started doing it in all my spare time. Take some fucking self responsibility for your own success, women.

why are people complaining that there are too many jobs?

Ask them how many women that are taking SC classes can write a simple recursive fizz buzz program and if not, ask them to disassemble the problem and make a pseudocode solution

I can ASSURE you there's gonna be exactly ONE person that will be able to do that

> Should I attend?
ignore this retarded bullshit and study

also someone post that thing where some retarded woman makes a function that returns the biggest of two numbers but 5 if they're equal .
sloots literally think carmacks fast InvSQRT is used to steal nudes.

It's just like the left to take a sector of society which they know absolutely nothing about and try to force unwanted change in their image

>gamergate

cuz womins aren't getting them!

>there aren't a lot of women or minorities who are programmers and thus OPRESSION.
What the fuck?
If women and minorities doesn't want to study programming and work in that area they don't need to.
It's their choice. There are women out there in large gaming companies and other companies that is based on programming.
It's not opression. It's their own choice

>carmack's
It's not.

the girls in our cs program rarely make it past the first course. After that, maybe you see 2-4 in your entire graduating class, and they all SUCK at programming

The male mind is dominated by hard logic, kinda starts to make sense

>tfw you realize that you just redpilled yourself

There was a girl in my CS class who constantly gave me the banter cause she had higher grades. She quit the industry less than two years into her professional career.

In my intermediate Java course it's actually 9 women in a class of 28, which seems surprisingly high. Some of them are clearly idiots though.

I went to a short conference with a nasa lady lecturing last semester. Turns out she was an obama appointee and tried to bluepill us on global warming by showing us global temperature data from the 1800s which seemed to have more measurements than we currently have today. Smelled fishy and I'm pretty sure it was a simulation that they backdated to try to "prove" their pet theory that nobody believes anymore

Was it due to family or other concerns?

she was probably using metrics from ice dated back to the 1800s. did she talk about how much we contribute to global warming or did she just go on and on about how we need to change?

There's not a lot of men who are ballerinas and nurses thus OPPRESSION.

Is it also oppression that the vast majority of auto mechanics, roofers, plumbers etc are men?

Let's get the dislikes over the 53 likes Sup Forums!

19/53 so far

congratulations you have common sense

unlike those fucking libtards that see oppression in everything

it's a stressful job. Emotion bitches can't take the heat

Most effective way to deal with them is either empty-chair them as they deserve, or show up and show as much contempt towards whatever BS they're pushing as possible.

I did the latter in my uni's compulsory lecture on consent and not being an evil cis het white male rapist. I just showed up and spent the whole hour with my headphones on listening to something else and watching this bitch giving the class get progressively more triggered by the sight of me tuning her out in the corner of her eye.

I successfully made the point that while my attendance was compulsory, my attention was not.

You'd still struggle to find people able to do that in a CS course, regardless of their gender
it's why Sup Forums has disaster programming threads every other day

It was more of a self-righteous smirk at the "deniers." The presentation was about mars missions, but it turned into "we need the artists and women and minorities to get to mars just as much as the engineers" and "there is no success without diversity."

Complete bullshit shilling and she played the short climate "data" montage from the 1800s to today to show that were in the ovens today.

She said she's not trying to convince anyone of anything just that that was the data

I bet they use ruby or javascript and then call themselves programmers.

>There aren't a lot of minorities
In my office (a fortune 200 corp) I'm almost a token white in a sea of Indians and Chinese. They don't mean "not a lot of minorities" they mean "no blacks"

now at 25/53
join us anons, this is a layup

able to do what? Pass? Dude if you can't handle courses you can't handle the job. School is fucking retard level for what you actually need to do to be impressive

Thank you earthquake man

Those people that see "oppression" in everything that pays well is retarded
>Oh no, mostly males educate themselvs to engineers
OPPRESION
>A large majority of males work in mines and other jobs that gets your nails dirty
No oppresion

yea its probably not but every time anyone mentioned it to me they said carmack made it for quake or something .
you can use icecores to get climate data .
its how we know about all the different climate cycles of earth (notation , sun cycles , all sorts of ecological and astronomical cycles)

that shit was advertized at UCSB too

and my network computing teacher talked for almost an entire class period about gender and CS and how we're making a bad environment for womyn

they also have this teaser with less likes that we can bomb

youtube.com/watch?v=zolhgjOX27A&t=42s

I don't know about you guys, but CS classes are literally the least sexist places you could be.

Why?

1. 70 percent Chinese, and thus almost no one has the personality to engage in cat calling or pick up culture antics.

2. Everyone is a nerd and is attending class but they actually need to get their money's worth of education

What is this bullshit.

I'm a software development manager at a bank; I still program. I've been a professional software engineer since 1998.

There are some women who don't suck at programming, but none of them are American. They're universally Chinese, originally from China, and barely speak English.

Yes but the way they colored the graphs it looked apocalyptic. it was very misleading and was just fear-mongering. The planet has been much warmer before and life thrived, also times with far more CO2 and plants thrived and other life wasn't effected

Daily reminder that there's a Women's Championship in chess.

Daily reminder that child prodigies are ALWAYS boys.

>Programming class
>Only white males
>Half of them are fat and looks like future neckbeards
Wtf leaf, stop lying

AYOOOOOO


HOL UP

AYOOOOOO


HOL UP 2

Even if you can Pass, your ability to code is the only thing that will let you get hired, since you'll get screened based on your abilities and your degree means fucking nothing in the interview

They've started pre-screening interviews with this garbage-tier coding problems like switch values of two variables without using a third temporary variable and people STILL fail to do that when they have a fucking CS degree

why the fuck are they always bitching about women in stem when higher education in general is around 60/40 female/male respectively?

do they want a total matriarchy or what?

>but it turned into "we need the artists and women and minorities to get to mars just as much as the engineers" and "there is no success without diversity."
nasa is fucked, and has been fucked since 2011.

what happened was this:

>sputnik happens
>NASA gets founded
>NASA gets the spotlight put on it
>NASA gets told to do shit that was literal science fiction at that time, and gets given all the money in the world
>pussy footing ensued, even up to the apollo program there were major overruns and fuck ups (Apollo 1)
>around the middle of Apollo NASA gutted itself, burnt itself down, then rose from the ashes
>america was made great, man on the moon, woo yay good job everybody
>the political and military aspect driving nasa left
>the capital was gone, the hope was gone
>NASA moved onto the space shuttle, which kept it relatively alive up until the time it was retired
>now almost all of the people who worked in the apollo program are at retirement age, NASA did not replace these workers with ones of similar drive
>education standards fell (this was a major thing, just ask anyone who went to school in the 1950s about it)
>now NASA is seen as a good ticket to a nice retirement, not the stuff of which dreams are made
>the dreamers now work at SpaceX

TL;DR: ignore that cunt, she's irrelevant

>drillers of earth
Pure masculinity

I know I've had to do some of them. Simple shit

Yeah, but it's the reason CS is regarded as a FUCKING JOKE outside of specific universities and courses

>Do comp sci in Uni.
>Course starts with 200+ people attending.
>Six out of the 200+ are female.
>By second year the course now only has about 100-110 people.
>Three girls are left, other three dropped out in first year.
>Final year there is just 60 people taking the course and there is only one women remaining.

The problem is Computer Science has a fucking huge drop out rate because it is hard as fuck and there are fuck all women interested in the course.
What are you suppose to do? Hire uneducated females to fill quotas.

34/53 dislikes keep up the momentum!

youtube.com/watch?v=8VVb6M8pTvE

Ask them something really tedious like the regex for some particular language or the ins and outs of various licenses. Or ask about math. Minorities and women hate these things, especially math, ergo they hate programming

So what's exactly stopping women and "minorities" from studying CS and becoming programmers? All you need is a computer and an internet. If Pajeets in India can do it, then it's pretty much a non-issue!
Where is the oppression? Everybody have equal opportunities, just let people decide whether they want to take it or not. Why do they want to forcefully equalize everything. I really hate seeing this commie bullshit in America.

I had the fortune of realization of that fact after a year into my program. I've kept myself very busy outside of school

Don't go. It doesn't deserve being heard/seen.

>Hire uneducated females to fill quotas.
This is exactly what they want.

Libs want equality of outcome, not of opportunity

I was an intro C++ course Lab Instructor for 2 years in college. I can remember some girls that were really good at it (compared to everyone else), but they probably just stick out in my memory because there weren't many women. There were also a few that were really disruptive. They would do poorly and refuse to own up to the fact that they weren't practicing enough. Those women would also usually be the ones who would distract the betas with their tits and spend the whole lab gossiping to them about their problems.

Considering that these were probably the cream of the crop since they were actually interested enough to pursue a degree in CS, I'm assuming that most women would make terrible programmers, but there are a few out there that could do it. They'd probably make better mathematicians though.

< This is the kind of code that hiring quotas will get you.

...

I think its due to a steep learning curve tied to specific technologies, while also trying to learn theoretical concepts (algorithms and data structures, etc. ). The end result being most people struggle primarily with the tech, and do not fully comprehend the problem solving aspect. So even those that do figure out the tech, graduate without fundamental skills that would be transferable to any variety of tech

So what's exactly stopping women and "minorities" from studying CS and becoming programmers?

The White Male Nazi Patriarchy

>if (boolean == true)

>.split().strip().split().strip().split()....

the problem with women programmers is that they have no drive or desire aside from the money

the thing about guys is we are builders and creators like our great creator

we emulate that and we put time in out work to appreciate it and we get excited when we learn about out project or hobby and we learn anything even in the least related to that subject

we end up living and breathing our proffesions

we learn for projects and stuff that interests us


they just want to learn for money or to take a shortcut and become le hacker man

software is literally the least racist test there is to being competent and it turns out that only whites are qualified :)

Are you strapped?

>They'd probably make better mathematicians though.
I'd agree. I know 2 girls that are definitely up to par mathematically, but bang their head against code and utterly hate it.

>literally shaking from the horror of that code

If the left successfully pushes this, then India will nab our whole market share of programmers, which is something they said they were worried about in the video

Good job you leaftists
godspeed

>reminder to NEVER give out racial/gender info on applications if asked. It's optional for a reason. Stop fucking yourselves over white man

lmao where was that?

...

45/53 dislikes come on Sup Forums almost there

It's already almost 50/50.

>tfw all these lies

fell for the programming "bootcamp" meme, had to partner with the one girl once

My mom was a math major in the 70s (yes, I'm really old), and graduated with honors. She's actually one of the smartest people I know and way smarter than my dad. Anyway, she has said that she never felt uncomfortable or unwanted. If a woman could go into STEM in the 70s I don't see any fucking excuse for women in 2017.

And then be upset when you want them to engage as fuck toys for your programmers.

>Sad world.

one more dislike to go!

THE PATRIARCHY IS GATHERING POWER

daddy like

also check'd, m8

Maybe women don't like computers all that much because they're just interested in it? The same reason men don't like dealing with young children and stay out of childcare jobs?

The Leftist idea that every group likes everything in equal measures is insane.

...

>tfw my name is practically "James O'Flanagan."

Everyone's gonna know I'm a white dude. Maybe I should change it to Jamal King.

I think Shaun King sounds blacker.

There have officially been about 1550 chess grand masters; about 33 are women.

>a/(1/b)

this is seriously a question on a hiring exam?

The SJWs crying about this have no interest in actually working there. They just love painting up scenarios where they are oppressed and any mental gymnastics will work for them.

Like in the Youtube video of hardcore gay porn with scat and piss. They believe that people are hating because they are homophobes. Some of the comments say "If this was a bunch of hot girls you wouldn't mind". I'm pretty sure people still would mind a lot of Youtube hosted lesbian scat porn.

WE BROKE THROUGH THE LIKES

youtube.com/watch?v=E974hoNGcIg

stop being sexist user, if they weren't oppressed 99% of developers would be female

That won't work in C++ though, which is what she used. (1/INT) = 0 because it truncates the decimals

I would use a for loop

W-what's wrong with Ruby?

>mfw shes dead
>ywn have a waifu that can beat you at chess

go there dressed as a brogrammer

> There will be 1.4 million jobs by 2020 in the computing related fields. Less than 29% of them are going to be filled by Americans and less than 3% of that 29% are going to be women.

Is this some new intersection in feminism? Are feminists nativists now?

Jesus Christ, I'm no expert at programming but holy fuck was that hard to read.
So stupid, you could have made it with way less lines and way more efficient.

The rest are poo in loos.

amongst the pleb languages its one of the better ones so don't beat yourself up over it.
But it's literally designed for dumb people.

b=0

>java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero

you are obviously very sexist and racist suggestion women and minorites can make their own decisions without the gover-I mean libe-I mean bigots trying to make their decisions for them.
