Why Women Shouldn’t Code

Women shouldn’t code

No shit, if they liked it, or were good at it, they'd do it because of the easiness and huge economic opportunities. But they don't, they go into "victimization" fields with low pay, but higher power status over others.

Of course if a woman is actually interested in code, she should be encouraged. But our current initiative to try to teach girls to code is misguided.

If it's a guy, who is naturally brilliant at it, fuck that guy. He's just a nerd who embarrasses everyone. Discourage that anti-social incel.

Just because a girl likes doing something doesn't mean she knows anything but how to do it. Playing with dolls, makeup, etc. are social actions. Manipulating and writing code that has thousands of potential inputs and affects requires some multidimensional thinking, which if my experience in consulting and teaching has show me that girls don't have the multidimensional thinking to the level that men do.

Yes, this goes against the diversity goals, because everyone knows that tech companies don’t have enough women on their boards, in their management, or on their staffs.

Does everyone? Because I think there's too many as it is.

But that isn’t necessarily cured by teaching more women to code. It’s cured by hiring more women and promoting them from other parts of the organization.

That's correct. Coders do not necessarily make good business leaders. In fact most people who excel at coding make horrible ones.

However hiring and promoting women just cuz vagina doesn't make any sense and I'd short sell a company that did that.

People like Bill Gates are extremely rare. Which is why there's not a lot of Bill Gates. He could write a boot loader from scratch and was actively coding parts of the OS generations up to windows 3.

His business skills were a right place/right time situation. But if you read his books you see one thing, which was he looked at every business situation he would be in and think "How is this benefiting the company"?

First of all, coding itself is a narrow function in which you write instructions to tell a computer what to do.

It is a narrow function, but those decisions are what separate good coders from bad coders. You're not just writing instructions to tell a computer what to do, you're also telling it what not to do. A lot of shit coders forget about that part.

People are fond of saying code is the next language, and that’s all fine, but there’s a difference between language and syntax.

I think that's silly and the author sort of goes off the rails a bit which has nothing to do with the article.

Coding is syntax. It is finely detailed work in a binary world, and it requires both attention to detail.

That why women aren't very good at it. You have to be psychic and be able to predict an unknown future. In this sense, a quality coder is more impressive than a doctor.

That's why you can write a program that will take current medical knowledge and link symptom to treatment, without very much thinking. The biggest thing you have to do (which is fairly easy already) is worrying about drug interactions, which kills hundreds of thousands of people a year in the U.S. alone. The rest if "sell drug X for situation Y", if drug interaction issue, print "Danger Will Robinson!"

When you write a line of code, you have to close the parentheses and make sure you put in the semi-colon or the code won’t run.

Yeah, you can't just tell it about your feelings and manipulate it. Women rely on manipulating something to make it happen, by harnessing the energy of the other person's weaknesses for women and being more competent to be exploited. Code doesn't work that way. And coders who have advanced intelligence won't let themselves be manipulated by that either for very long, so they're unsuited for highly complex code (or just code). For pretty much all code, the possibility of failures is formulaic of code interaction with n(n − 1) / 2 interaction points. More code, equals more interaction points. More points equals more failure conditions.

Women just cry when they can't handle their failure points, because you'd have to a) recognize what failure is, b) take responsibility and accountability, c) understand how any changes causes a ripple effect through the system, then d) hold all of those thousand or millions of effects in their heads simultaneously and know how to work around second effects, through proper design and prevent modules from creating interaction points that cause failure.

That's why doctors are stupider than coders. A successful coder can see all this Beautiful Mind style while being able to rewind and fast forward time to see causes and effects, whereas a successful doctor knows how to bill insurance companies and prescribe you some kidney melting poison.

Men go into the medical field for money, men go into coding because their brains function at a much higher level. Doctors are revered because they follow the same thing over and over to "save lives" so they philosophically have resposibility of someone's life, whereas some coder may just stop a company from having a bug that causes 20 million user accounts to be hacked. Not as important. But a far harder job.

It requires enormous concentration, and it is exacting. It’s often done in a dark room with no interruptions.

When women are in management they get bored and interrupt you.

if i'm understanding that article right, the author is encouraging the promotion of people who don't understand the business they're in.

To see code as a language is a classical misunderstanding to begin with. Computers don’t have a «language». Computers can’t think. Of what use would a language be for them? Language isn’t about instructions. Women shouldn’t code. True. The code would change and become more without reason.

“It’s cured by hiring more women and promoting them from other parts of the organization.”

Another feminist cunt trying to promote women without skills

Author looks like Austin Powers in her picture.
