As the relative lack of women in tech jobs increasingly gains public attention, a new report suggests that women workers are primed to change those numbers for good.
A report released this month on the digital abilities of U.S. workers found that women are slightly ahead of men when it comes to developing tech skills needed for employment. Created by the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program, the report "Digitalization and the American Workforce" examined Americans' progress in adapting to a rapidly more tech-heavy job market, and gave women an overall score of 48 in this area, while men received a comparable but lower score of 45.
To assess workers' ability to perform in jobs involving the use of technology, researchers looked at information on "the knowledge, skills, tools and technology, education and training, work context, and work activities required" for a wide range of industries and professions, categorized by occupations' high, medium, or low requirements for digital skills.

Joseph Flores
lol yeah Im sure.
Cameron Stewart
Can only code on $2500 Macbook Pros. Python can't compile on anything but.
Isaac Wood
You doubt the Brookings Institute?
Isaac Ward
You mean everyone does not use apple baby products?
Jackson Howard
It's impossible to compile Python without macOS. Hence why these more talented females know to use only macbooks.

Cooper Price
Anybody that has worked in tech can tell you this is not true.
Brandon Carter
Worked in tech for 15 years as a software engineer. All the women I've encountered in my career have been shit. They're terrible engineers. Not innovative, slow working, delegated the easy projects just to get them out of the way so as to minimize the damage they do.

if you start a company, never advertise you are hiring, never accept resumes, only hire people you know directly without any resume or interview process >but I don't know anyone join the masons or elks or anything
it's the last form of discrimination left available
If you want to take it to the next level, network even harder and don't offer your goods and/or services to the public.

William Morales
Machines will replace women and minorities in the USA. We will make sure not to give any type of god like consciousness. Da Vinci made a robot in the 1400s, we don't need complicated technology.
Only Untermenschen require complicated technology-

>"trade skills": being more polite and friendly and sociable >Also they're really good at using phone apps and sucking dick yeah I'm sure this is 100% accurate meanwhile common experience of every man in the world tells you that women are always hope less when it comes to tech or doing anything technical at all except for phones and instagram
Camden Brown
So why don't women start their own women-only tech companies? Or invent the next operating system, smart phone, etc... ?

It's needed to my python code compile.
Lucas Rodriguez
The aural and tactile feedback helps people who were alive when typing was learned on very early keyboards. It was surprisingly hard to learn to type on a keyboard because if you learned to type on a mechanical typewriter the cadence was all off. Then later when I adapted to a keyboard, typing on a manual typewriter was nearly impossible due to the cadence. Very weird stuff.
obviously you wouldn't understand that and neither would aposematic roasties but I buy them for a reason so kys millennial gynecomastic NEET scum

filling out paper forms is not a tech skill

It makes sense, Women are and were also better at working factory jobs They are easier to control

The lack of women in tech is almost entirely a result personal choice rather than capability.
Anthony Hill
ok where's the tangible evidence that women are good for tech jobs?
Oh yeah, there isn't any.
Joseph Anderson
>"experts say it's imperative that new efforts are made to bring women, people of color, and other historically marginalized employees into the modern workforce in a meaningful way."
>(((historically marginalized)))
But how do they equate this marginalization to women being barred or discouraged from joining tech employment? This isnt happening, so I just wonder, if women aren't engaging themselves in these industries by their own free will-why exactly do they need to be strong armed into these fields? Who wins by pushing this agenda?
Why do women need to explicitly be included in STEM fields only? Why is there not a similar push for more female representation in other male dominated fields?
Ryder Kelly
Why you should hire a woman: 1. Dick aint gonna suck it self 2. serve coffe and clean 3. Massage 4. "You can do it user desu desu :3"
Levi Mitchell
silly valley is already cucked beyond repair this (((push))) will bring tech down even further there is a reason the industry hasn't seen any meaningful development in the last 10 years
dunno m8 a few years ago sure but today? the "muh rape" allegation will break your neck considering how biased the chords are with this
Robert Evans
This women can be as strong as men. Men and women are equal.
Jordan Clark
Its almost like government programs are artificially giving advantages to women in their education, particularly in the STEM fields, while men are forced to play catch up
idiot
Juan Nelson
There is no way in hell women are better at programming, no fucking chance they will take over that industry, ever.

Brayden Brown
How do you prove this? If I don't feel like learning math, you would argue that I have the capacity but not the willingness but is this true? If I dread the cultivation of math to a point that prevents me from learning it my whole life can you honestly say that I have the same "capacity" for it?
What is "capacity" here? Neurons? You are talking out of your fucking ass.
Owen Flores
I don't know. If the government keeps advancing women's education while impeding men's, it may happen. Already my college has rather quietly set a quota on how many men they can bring into STEM a year.
John Perez

Women-only tech companies, and male-only tech companies exclusively. Capitalism shall decide the victor.
Joshua Cook
They are better at everything. This is why they are rising so quickly today in every field, including sport and gaming. They were only held back because of the oppressive patriarchy. Had they been allowed to rule back in ancient times we would be living in an eternal Golden Age.

I give Apple shit but what's so bad about having a macbook? I mean, what if you want to be write iOS apps? There really is no other way w/i some hackintosh shit. Am I missing something?
I run windows on my desktop and linux on my laptop, but I'm thinking about getting a MBP because I have stacks on deck.

The faggotry on the right would be okay if IT AT LEAST DID ITS JOB CORRECTLY. If you set a and b to any number other than 5 and try to find the max it will instead return the number 5. >commenting trivial code I'd much rather deal with trivial comments than no documentation, which is a MUCH larger problem

Shit, this seems like a great deal. Why is it so cheap? Thanks bro, I owe you. I already have an MSc, but my industry went down the drain (oil) and I lost my job.

Why do women want to be coders? Sup Forums taught me there is nothing more debased and degenerate than being a programmer. It's literally the worst thing one could do in this life. What am I missing here?
Carson Lee
Code documentation forgets to get maintained so often that it ends up doing more damage than good. No matter how much attention you give it, you work with X number of people on same project and someone does it.
It pays well, you sit in air-conditioned rooms, you get free meals and amenities thrown at you, and open-floor offices let you gossip and talk instead of working on anything and you have a mountain of social capital from the job being desirable.
Aside from the "you have to actually work" part of the job, it's a dream job for women.
Cooper Jones

Women's code wants me to commit workplace violence.

women ruining another bastion of maleness with their virtue signaling. she might as well say she is in heat. just like the supposed Sup Forums meetup where the girl is trying to gain attention by wearing a look at me hoodie that has animal ears. we see you roastie. roasties never change. wish i had the stick figure drawing posted here in relation to MTG and GG, it fits so well. can user help?

If I am reading this correctly, more women are secretaries and more men do labor jobs, and women are still barely more computer literate on average.
Jonathan Young
Mine was too until they started massive affirmative action programs bringing the percentage of women to ~30%.
David Collins
>report released this month on the digital abilities of U.S. workers found that women are slightly ahead of men when it comes to developing tech skills needed for employment
fucking ridiculous
I've worked in tech for 20+ years, and ALL the geeks, which large enterprises are build on the back off, are men. when it comes to really fucking hardcore tech wizardry, I have never met a single woman who stacks up. not one. and I have worked across 7 large tech corporations, and a range of start-ups.
so piss off with your SJW lies.

It also goes along with the one clip where black women are the smartest demographic in the US.

Apple may be ass but Win10 is a fucking abomination. I've seriously considered getting out of the tech business because of the way things have been moving lately. Gonna go grow fruit trees or something. Fuck this life.

Wyatt Gonzalez
I have worked as a software developer and now a sysadmin for the past 20 years. I can tell you with absolutely certainty there are few women that are qualified for tech jobs.
95% are diversity hires, the rest of us just scrap what ever they do and implement it correctly.
Kevin Diaz
At my college the women in CS were scouted so early by tech companies just because they were women in tech. All the guts had to wait to graduate and just start applying to jobs.
Ian Murphy
These girls are retarded. For such trivial functions you don't need fucking comments or put your name in because they are trivial. If the function is very small, there's no need to write a lot of useless comments either. The code on the left is actually well written and clear and you don't need any comments since the code fucking tells you what it does. I actually can read the one on the left faster but the one on the right is way more distracting and harder to parse visually.
Matthew Cooper
Also I noticed it fucking now. There are some funny things but this takes the cherry
>else if(a > b && b < a) >a > b && b < a >fucking A > B and B < A
It's official women can't into logic.
