Women in computing to decline to 22% by 2025, study warns

>Women in computing to decline to 22% by 2025, study warns

>New research warns that at the rate we're going, the number of women in the computing workforce will decline to 22% from 24% by 2025 if nothing is done to encourage more of them to study computer science.

>The research from Accenture and nonprofit group Girls Who Code says taking steps now to encourage more women to pursue a computer science education could triple the number of women in computing to 3.9 million in that same timeframe.

>Women account for 24% of computing jobs today, but could account for 39% by 2025, according to the report, Cracking the Gender Code. And greater numbers of women entering computer science could boost women's cumulative earnings by $299 billion and help the U.S. fill the growing demand for computing talent, said Julie Sweet, Accenture's group chief executive for North America.

How can we get more girls to study Computer Science and get into tech careers?

One way I can think of is eliminating the sexual harrassment of women that's rampant in the tech industry.

THIQQQQQQQQQ

are you the guy that always posts satirical pro-women threads and accompanies them with these types of voyeur webms?

if so pls post more

>encourage
women genocide when?

Most of our coding jobs are outsourced anyway.
Why would you want to spend millions trying to teach women to code when guys here can't even get jobs?

>it's a CRP webm thread

LAMAO

Well if you stop and think about it, the tech industry's primary objective is to build women AIs and have sex with them.

Computer science is a trap, you just move to an urban center where 99% of the jobs are and then work salary for all your waking hours until you either get rich or kill yourself

Take it from me, if you want to computer you should go straight for entrepreneurship and then teach yourself the tech side of things, there is more than enough resources on the internet to do so

WHY THE FUCK DO WE NEED MORE WOMEN IN STEM.
I need a job, you need a job, people of any race or sex need a job.
The most fucking qualified person deserves the job, there is no other answer.
You put in the work, you get the return.
Fuck yes i'm triggered.
I hate this shit so much, I work around women all day who have no passion for technology, who barely do their jobs, and who will eventually have a child leaving me with extra work for a god damn 6 month period, with no extra benefit on my part.
Yet that bitch will still somehow become my boss.

Fuck, fuck everything, fuck this stupid fucking planet.

Russian nukes could not come any faster, I don't care if I die in the nuclear holocaust, the prospect of having the tinniest chance to go back to a lifestyle where daily struggles are real.
I'll take that over this political bureaucracy.

They get a bit harder later on.

I nearly failed all of my B's general Ed courses because I had almost zero motivation to complete them.

Off to a good start, now if only that could drop to the single digits

The best standard for coding lies somewhere between the two, people who don't describe variable names deserve to be shot but only if it's alongside people who put block comments before every line

The huge problem with this picture is that the two pieces of code do two completely different things. I also don't want a massive wall of comments for code that's blatantly fucking obvious as to what it does.

Fuck of were full

None of this is real. Literally all sock puppet twitters propping up the illusion.

I mean "Shalom" Ayash? You have got to be kidding me.

This thread is jewish, too.

>women actively chose not to enter a specific job industry
>must be the patriarchys fault
>mfw

It's not the fault of women. Computers are sexist.

...

Because.

The future for those who can code things people want to use looks brighter and brighter every day.

>Job recruiters work to woo UW computer-science students
seattletimes.com/business/technology/job-recruiters-work-to-woo-uw-computer-science-students/

Meanwhile, all the other jobs are in danger of being taken over by automation unless it's a job that requires human emotion and understanding.

If you have a daughter, wouldn't you want her to have one of those tech jobs that would allow her to provide for herself? I mean, you don't want her to be working some demeaning job in some sports bar, do you?

I completed assembly and computer architecture and I'm doing linear algebra and differential equations before heading off to a university to get my bachelor's. So far the hardest course I had was the last semester of Calculus but after that it was easy.

>code on the right is well documented, readable, efficient, and easily maintainable
>code on the left is inefficient, unreadable and esoteric for no reason other than autism

I would never hire the person who wrote that "function" on the left.

I am

I'm apparently the only person in my class who took his free time in summer to learn a new language (C++) and takes his afternoons off to just study.

I'm acing everything and my classmates look at me in awe, like I'm superhuman.

Do men take their children to these places?

Funnily this is the womans fault alone.
Womans were actually a majority in CS.

But woman did their best to defame people who go into science ( back in the 50s scientists were on similar popularity to stars, e.g. einstein and feynman) by displaying people who actually learn as losers and hailing the chads who do some bullshit.

The left one is almost as bad as the right. Why the fuck are so many random variables being used? That code is a mess, it is like someone intention obscuring their code to preserve their job.

they're probably just looking at you because they're starving.

Wew

Because they choose to be doctors and lawyers. Much more lucrative and less stressful than coding all fucking day. Go KYS OP

Which is a better career path: Computer science (programming, software dev) or Computer security?

Why do they want to ((encourage)) women to work in these types of zones?

If it's not natural for women to want to choose these places, then they should just leave it out, and let people choose naturally.

Can Sup Forums give me a reason why getting more women into X is a thing?

I meant besides those usual stares.

To be fair I do actually know a girl named Shalom. Funnily enough she's not even Jewish, neither are her parents. Not sure what her parents did or why they did it.

Make all women birthing pods

Yes they do. Pretty sure that's a place called "Tight ends" Similar to Hooters and Twin peaks

Because how else can they take advantage of the women make only 75 cent to a mans dollar if the women aren't in that field to hire?

Stay out of computer science fucking roasties
REEEEEEEEEE

Corsets never fail to make my dick hard.

What's the best way to teach myself C++ my pana?

Junior year at a top school and I'm crushing it.

Meanwhile there are literally around 10 girls and 3 blacks in my ~150 person class.

CS is racist and sexist though. KEK.

Its some fast way to do sqrt i think.
Not much to explain when it is a mathematical problem and not really a algorithmic one.

Good women going backwards. Women btfo,


Kill all women.

more like: how else is the eternal jew pressure you to lower your wages?

udemy.com/free-learn-c-tutorial-beginners/learn/v4/

It's a great way to start

There's actually something fishy going on and the low women count is not normal. Back in the 80s there were way more women.

I think the problem is two fold. More people in college means the dumbing down of the average college person, and the fact that there are no more bullshit degrees like women's studies.

The average female is less likely to do "nerd shit" compared to the average male. Notice all these graphs are percentage based.

Who gives a shit? Oh let me guess, the reason women aren't in the field is because of structural misogyny and an egregious male culture like everything else right?

Lawyers. LOL.

Thank God maybe video games will be good again.

Yep, they know IT has been steadily going to shit, undermined by H1Bs, outsourcing and offshoring. It turns out, competing with Pajeet's Indian Mafia for increasingly shitty gigs is not that rewarding. Who the fuck wants to deal with those awkward cunts all day ?

I can't fault women for not wanting any of this crap, why would they when they can have a regular 9 to 5 in HR or Marketing.

Thanks

Don't post that pornographic garbage here, heathen.

Yeah, because comments like
>what the fuck?
>this can be removed
>evil floating point bit level hacking
are very helpful when it comes to programming.

It's probably all the people telling them they can go to college for gender studies and get a good job. In the 80s people were realistic, but today people willingly lie to themselves because of emotions.

No chads?
I mean comparing social ability ( stereotipicly ), of someone even on psychics and computer science is great.

More than welcome to my job, i've been a programmer/sql developer going on 6 years now and its friggin shit. Especially in the UK where you make only $45k.
When you see scum no brainers making just 10k less for HR making almost double than you, you have to be crazy to do it.

Thank God, just another year and ill have my CPL/type rating, then ill finally be a bus driver of the sky.

Why should we "encourage" women to study computer science? They have equal opportunity. They just don't want to do it. Men and women are different. Noone seems to be complaining about the lack of women in the Oil or coal mining or waste disposal industry. Let them work in the service, psychology nursing field. Men like hard science, labour, and competitive jobs. Women prefer soft science, social care, and team oriented work.

Why is it a big issue?

>Disgusting cottage cheese ass and legs

What jobs aren't being outsourced? Farming?

>code on the right produces an ambiguous answer in some cases (when a > b and a = 5). Is a > b or a = b? Who knows, because you return 5 like a retard.

>make courses significantly easier so womyn have greater chance of success
>dump millions of dollars into scholarships and support programs exclusively for women in CS
>significant hiring preference for women in CS related jobs, due to social pressure for muh quotas

>still mens fault women aren't succeeding

Code on the right is overloaded with comments that don't actually tell shit, has two &&'ed conditions that are equivalent, and the max() function fails to fulfill its contract if a = b.
It's the opposite of maintainable or readable. If someone like you is allowed to hire even for a second, no wonder your IT is outsourced to us. But I think they aren't.

777 driver here, m8. You're making the right call.

AI lawyers will be incredibly more efficient than their human counterparts. All information and legal cases will be instantaneous. This is already happening and will be reality within the next decade.

I guess the same can be said for any profession if we look far enough ahead. Lawyers are doomed though.

That's the issue; there is no issue for jews to profit from.

IT student here, here's my humble opinion
IT is too new, it doesn't have any prestige to it, there are no big celebrities that women would care about so they don't care about IT at all (except for buying tech, of course)

depends on your work preferences and attitude
cs - needs good portfolio, your degree and work history means shit other than allowing you to work below minimum wage
security - regular degree job, needs networking, references and stuff

>study warns

>reimplements standard math lib function
>writes comments for trivial pieces of code (protip: if you don't know what if(adoesn't actually do what comments say it does

i really hope you don't actually code or hire developers, because you are fucking clueless

A lot of healthcare jobs are difficult to outsource, that is not to say that outsourcing of healthcare jobs doesn't exist.

>there are women in computing

wat?

I studied artificial intelligence.
In my class there 60 guys and 2 girls, both lesbians and both dropped out after the first year.

>Even With Hard Evidence Of Gender Bias In STEM Fields

The ONLY hard evidence of gender bias in the STEM field that has been solidly proven is that if a man and a woman of the exact same qualification apply to the same position, the woman will be hired 100% of the time to fill quotas.

thanks man, 777 is totally my dream, especially with that sexy 777x coming

This. I pretty much only ever see females in the trendy meme-tier stuff like web development.

I'm in school for CS so this is good news for me

When I writ code like that, I usually put the formula in a comment because there is no way I would remember wtf I was doing a year later. He also declares random variables for no freaking reason, wasting memory.

IT is mostly math, check how many females are there that study math.

she didn't code so good

>Especially in the UK where you make only $45k.
You must be a really shitty developer to be making that little in this industry. Fuck, I'm an American contracting for a UK company right now and they're paying me more than twice that to work from home.

And you're going into a career that will be fully replaced with automation within 10 years. Most commercial jet pilots barely even do anything today today except memorize how to push a few buttons in a predetermined manner.

>Back in the 80s there were way more women.

And then real computers started to exist and the subject of computer science started to actually be somewhat difficult

Finally figure out how to automate the HR officers I see.
