The tech industry actually discriminates the LEAST of any industry I've ever seen.

If a woman is put on your team, 99% of the time she's fucking incompetent. That they are the bottom of any team they are put on is almost axiomatic at this point.

The ones who CAN code are welcome wherever they go *once they've proven they can code and aren't just some fucking quota filler.*

Traditonal hacker-types have seen enough worthless female programmers that their initial skepticism will have to be overcome.

Women are brainwashed by feminism to view normal shit that everyone goes through as gender-specific.

They literally believe than men never have to prove their worth or accomplish anything. Or that we just walk into the office and get paid 7 figures for nothing. It doesn't matter to them that all data proves the opposite is true and that the straight-white-cis-male leftist boogieman actually must have above average qualifications or else he gets AAd.

The gender imbalance in the industry is driven by the gender imbalance in tech course enrolments. How the fuck are we supposed to achieve a 50/50 employee ratio when enrolment ratios are more like 90/10 or 80/20?

Tech nerds are an easy target for criticism, they always have been. The extremely vocal people criticising and pigeonholing the industry don't realise they're perpetuating the whole "NNNNEEEEEEERDS!!!!!!" mentality and thus making the situation worse.

I work in a global IT firm and work under a woman who pushes this movement as well.

It's part of a larger agenda, the whole "diversity" programme is being pushed in literally ever company, on top of that "gender wage gap/bias/discrimination/imbalance" hokus pokus.
Naturally, it will fail as either the company will reluctantly turn into a meritocracy where this forced diversity will prove women are of no added value, or even many times burdensome -- or they will literally go Stalin on every dissenter, leaving the company with free bleeding cat-obsessed whores and see them free fall on the stock market.
Of course, I can't speak my honest opinion on it on the company floor, let alone laugh with male colleagues because nu-male NKVD spies everywhere.

Either way, the free market will take care of things once again. Give it time and they'll give up and fuck off because it's ineffrctive (women suck at convincing because they only know emotional appeal) and a waste of company resources.

This, all the female programmers we have always end up doing things like keeping track of bugs and shit, responding to emails coming from the top, and shit like that.

It's pretty rare that you find a women programmer that can code at an advanced level, i.e higher order, actually caring and envisioning future problems ahead of time instead of just hacking shit together to make it work until the product becomes a complete fucking unmaintainable potato piece of shit.

>>136617334
I think in other terms, these women made it through college and then arrive in the real fucking world with the expectations that it will be like college and about completing your class assigments.

It aint, real life coding is different, you have to actually care about what the users want and need, care about more than just what is necessary to get your dumb ass grade.

Long comment,apologies.

Since I haven't conducted any serious study into the topic, it's difficult for me to speak with regards to anything other than case-by-case examples. I'm a master student at one of the best technical colleges at Sweden, and my experiences are as following:

Women in tech are like women everywhere; craving, absolutlely craving, for attention. In a class of ~100 people, there were about 10-15 women at first. Initially, all of the women formed little cliques around themselves with about 5-8 men orbiting around them, all the time there to buy them stuff, like coffee, and get them other things, like pencils and whatnot. In projects, these cliques would mostly be intact, except for when no group-making was allowed by the students themselves. It is from these projects that my experiences mostly come, since I would not degrade myself to assosciate with a woman as an orbiter, and I have a fantastic gf at home, so they simply do not interest me.

In the project's I've been a part of, it has, as you can probably guess, been the men who've done the absolute majority of the work. When a woman has indeed written any code, it has mostly been design stuff, like user interfaces and such. The underlying problem relates to my original statement: the attention they crave. It is not at all uncommon for the new project groups that form to end up like the women-ran cliques that I spoke of earlier, with the woman in the middle handing out attention to the most deserving guy, and at the same time, craving it from all the rest. This sort of underlying dynamic is often devastating to the project groups, and it severly hinders bonding between the males and any further work.

>>136621601

cont.


But, you might be asking, aren't these people university students, they must be more mature? Sadly, in my experience, no. You must not forget, that the people who come to these schools (the men at least, I'm positive that most women gain entry by quotas) come from backgrounds that sort of makes them nerds and losers; they're the smart people from high-school and such. They are not, at all, used to female prescence, and so when they finally experience it, they don't know how to handle themselves.

But, back to the topic. I am, as stated, not a professional. I'm still a student. It would not, however, suprise me in the slightest, if these conditions where the same in the workforce, complete with the women-run cliques and all. And that is why I thought I could share my experiences.

there are very few really elite female programmers. the best female programmers are generally about average for men. they are definitely employable and better than the lower end of men but the best male programmers are usually turbo autists who work insane hours and have zero social life. being an elite programmer is like being an elite jizz mopper. it is not a glamorous life style and usually not high paid either because good actors make more money than good programmers.

Nope. If you notice, no one says anything at all until a "scandal" makes the MSM. Then you get these attention whore parasites coming out of the woodwork to tell fabricated stories about their oppression and how they were "scared" to talk about it but the scandal gave them "strength" to come out and say what happened to them. What pisses me off is their enablers, white knights and cuck orbiters encourage this shit behavior.

No. About 20% of high schoolers interested in computer programming are women. About 20% of computer science graduates are women. About 20% of tech industry workers are women. If there's any discrimination going on, it's happening before high school.

The more plausible interest is, gasp, women might just biologically have different interests than men. Time and time again people find that boys prefer trucks and girls prefer dolls, even when they try to carefully remove every cultural influence. Here's one damning study:

http://sci-hub.cc/10.1111/j.1751-9004.2010.00320.x

>gender differences on the people–things dimension of interests are ‘very large’ (d= 1.18), with women more people-oriented and less thing-oriented than men. Gender differences in personality tend to be larger in gender-egalitarian societies than in gender-inegalitarian societies, a finding that contradicts social role theory but is consistent with evolutionary, attributional, and social comparison theories. In contrast, gender differences in interests appear to be consistent across cultures and over time, a finding that suggests possible biologic influences.

Look at the "interest in people vs interest in things" statistic. A d value of 1.18 is enormous. That means 93% of men are more "thing oriented" than the average women. And that's assuming there is no noise in the measurement, likely the true value is even higher!

There's also this later on in the document:

>When Del Giudice computed the Mahalanobis D for gender differences in Big Five traits, based on a published data set, he found that although the mean d for gender differences in individual Big Five traits was 0.27 (conventionally considered to be ‘small’), the Mahalanobis D was in contrast 0.84, suggesting a relatively large mean separation of men and women in the multivariate ‘space’ of personality

You don't seem to understand where those all came from newfag, there's a nice little summary post from a while back but i'll give you the basic gist of it
There was a large problem with women coming on and making off topic remarks all for the sake of attention whoring because they had a vagina and it somehow mattered in the conversation
tits or gtfo become the standard response to this because they clearly showed that they had nothing to contribute to the conversation other than their tits and had violated the whole idea of anonymity
No one cares if a girl posts here, it's only annoying if they try to make it seem like it matters if they're a girl
The same should apply to the workplace but the jews don't like that

>women mostly can't code
i think the reason might be deeper. men are much more aggressive in negotiating higher salaries and better working conditions. occupations that are disproportionately male tend to be higher paying because men negotiate harder and have more collective solidarity than women. historically women have been brought into the work place to bust unions and drive down wages. men don't need an organized union in order to collaborate for higher wages. as long as a field is mostly men they will stick together for better pay. brining women in is a classic management technique to d&c and drive down wages.

This. The technical barrier to entry for programming has been greatly reduced, and the industry is the hot-ticket for a big salary, so there's a massive influx of shitty programmers chasing a paycheck. It's become the new real-estate.

By the time women en masse are getting into the game (there are always exceptions to the rule, who are appreciated), you can be sure the bubble will burst, and a large cull will occur.

The industry is primed for this at the moment, investor sentiment is turning, they're starting to realise that the age of investing in unprofitable apps for fickle audiences is over.

But for the time being, we're stuck with a huge demand for "programmers", when most of it is about putting butts in chairs to project an image of "growth" to investors, tack extra crap onto the core-product that originally drew their audience, and hope they exit before the music stops.

Even if we disregard wether or not women tend to make worse programmers, they are dealt *far* less overt criticism and punishment, weigh the team down through hand-holding and fixing fuckups, and respond *very* poorly to criticism (crying, accusations of sexism, even false accusations of sexual assault).

Ive worked in the tech industry for 15+ years as an Engineer. Lemme tell you the truth. In all my years, I've realized women are terrible Engineers. Engineering takes fourthought, mathematics and a certain level of innovative mindset. Women have billions less brain cells physically then men and they can't Engineer worth a damn. I wish it weren't that way but it's the reality. They just suck at it.

Are women better than men at tennis? How about swimming? Why is the brain muscle any different? This world is crazy to think that we're equal. We're not. Men created most (if not all) inventions in history and built the whole mother fucker. Women have been left behind thousands of years ago. Its no different today

Half of silicon valley is like this. Actually we should call it "useless app valley". the old silicon based companies are still there, there are a few new ones too (like ours). We make products, while google/Facebook/Twitter does not. They are in teh spotlight, as non tech people dont understand the difference between nvidia and facebook, and facebook is inflated so much larger. There are also some hardware companies that dont do any useful product, they suck up investor money for few years, that they party away, give themselves bonuses and buy big houses. Half of SV are scam artists. They take investor and VC money, even shareholder money and spend it on themselves without a sellable product. I wonder when this bubble will burst.

Peter Theil speaks about this, in particular the green-energy sector, where companies producing terrible products received massive investment, went bust, and as a consequence that sector became a no-go area.

While it's an obvious point to make, I think the SnapChat IPO has caused a rumbling amongst investors. The current model of tech investment seems to be scattershot lots of start-ups and hold out for the big kahuna, so if even the latter cannot deliver, they'll move onto other pastures.

Bitch doesn't understand that everybody has to do that shit...Men have their ideas shit on for years until they figure out how to have good ones. Nobody is going to overlook a man's faults the way they do a cute girl's. Your entire career lives or dies on your successes, your failures, and how you handle both of those.

Every single beta cuck faggot I went to college with would fight over the opportunity to help any good looking female do any of their computer science homework or projects. If you're a good looking female, you have at least 7 of the 10 best people in any given class ready to help you with every homework question, every project, help you study for every exam. You have the teaching assistant marking your answers correct even when they're wrong. You have recruiters putting your resume in the 'good' pile at career fairs even though it's not that great. You have interviewers overlooking the fact that you don't know when to use a LEFT JOIN vs an INNER JOIN, even though you put on your resume that you know SQL. You have tech leads and principal engineers giving you constant on the job training, and constantly showing you how to do things you should already know how to do, instead of recommending that you be let go, like they would if you were male.

And yet, if at any point a female is challenged by someone, or doesn't get the promotion they wanted, or the rest of the team doesn't go with their idea, it's because they're a girl and everybody is sexist, instead of being because they've been pampered their entire career/life and haven't had to get shut down for the first 6 years of their career before anybody started listening to them.

And then, when a girl is actually rock solid at what they do and really knows her stuff, they immediately get discredited, because everybody knows women have it easier. The women who would still be there without all of the quotas and feminism and biases get devalued, get shit on, etc.

I've yet to encounter a female working in a tech role in the 7 years I've been in the industry since graduating. The only thing holding them back is themselves, there is no patriarchal, old boys club, boogie man in the tech industry.

Im a software engineer. I can honestly say women in tech are like that video of dogs driving cars. Sure it's cute, and they physically are capable of doing the task, but they need a person, to guide them every step of the way. A person to do all the real work, and heavy lifting. On the outside people see a girl in tech, but in reality it's just a puppet with a man pulling the strings.

The feminist bullshit gets them in the door faster and easier than male hires, and most company policies make them impossible to fire. They're dead weight. Google themselves even sees this and doesn't pay them as much as men. They're being sued by women because of it.

We need to stop letting dogs think they're driving the car.

Women really like the label and identity that comes with 'working in tech.' Women are so fucking vain it's unbelievable. When I get into power not only am I going to make it illegal for every female to work a full time job unless they're ugly and can't find a husband; I'm also going to ban them from using social media.

-misrepresent him in the media system

I am a software engineer at a large company you have definitely heard of.

I'm not in a senior position, but I've been there long enough that I frequently have new employees put under my wing for me to help them get started.

With males its quite simple, I give them a task, and they come to me with questions when they really get stuck.

With females its an entirely different ordeal. Every now and then, some women slip through who don't actually know how to program.... this is pretty rare but it does happen. And it never happens with males curiously.

Assuming they have some basic programming skills, being their mentor essentially becomes a baby sitting job. They will constantly be messaging me asking for little bits of advice. Everything needs my approval, even down to variable naming.

Management "knows" its a problem, but there is literally nothing they can do. Its basically just calculated into the operating costs of a project, that you need to hire x% females for HR to be happy.

If it has the word sistematically the answer is likely no.

I can sense the victimhood but seeing so many of you declaring so surely women in tech are shit and quota fillers, i cannot ignore the 'despite my feats, i have to constantly reprove myself'.
It's not the case that you have accomplished something and wish to feed off its glory for years to come. But because the expectation that woman are bad at coding, their flaws are more easily perceived that the feats. It creates a confirmation bias. With a guy, a fuck up is a fuck up. Fuck up too much you're bad. But a girl, because you believe she must be bad, once she fucks up, "oh, i knew she would be bad".
Imagine a boy that goes to a dancing class. A girl that fucks up a dance, fucks up, there's no further conclusions - the boy that fucks up isn't good. It's like you're already with a low base evaluation, and the first impression lowers it further. Much harder that the other person with no bias.

It's only meritocratic in the most difficult and demanding coding jobs.

For the majority of jobs which can be done (albeit badly) by copy/pasting stack overflow examples and stringing together plugins, all the soft skills still matter.

I've been in jobs where we interviewed candidates for 100% coding roles. Managers preferred "team-players" they can mold (brainwash) rather than anyone who knows what they're doing but isn't prone to groupthink.
>>
>>136642580

>>136642798
Bias is natural and rational when supported by facts. Women being poor at math and programming compared to men is something consistently shown by data. You should expect a girl to have more trouble with programming like you would expect a guy to have more trouble with a nuturing/caring role..

proofing and just doing your job are different things in an office dynamic.
most people working wherever are OK at it. excelling isn't a common phenomenon.
With that said a woman either is great! or is quota-filler-email-spammer. They do not blend in and for that they either parade their successes and be considered good by their coworkers and employers, they are shit and coworkers endure the burden, or they are OK but are considered shit also.

I have been a coder, technical team lead and department manager working in large corporate IT development departments for over 30 years. I have worked at over 15 companies in this time as a longer term contractor, working both in male only and male/female teams. All I can say is that I can count the number of good (not excellent but good) female coders on one hand. Most are a complete pain in the butt and the teams that had female coders did not work as effectively or happily. In general I would choose an all male team over a mixed or all female team.

If your code is not well structured and logical that it needs comments, you're doing it wrong.

Also when the code changes, the comments must be updated which almost never happens.

Comments and unit tests are worthless.

The issue only exists in the minds of SJW. The tech industry like sales or any other male dominated industry is by and large a meritocracy. Those that produce quality work will get the promotions and raises. The sad fact of the matter is that women can not compete at the level of men but they have been brainwashed by commie professors to believe in equality.

So they blame their own inadequate nature on men and demand the state to correct this "imbalance." We are entering the late stage of our culture that exists right before it collapses. Well before women destroy society in their quest for "equality" and "diversity" All that remains is for the individual to make their peace with god because I fear we may all be meeting him much sooner then we wish.

The industry I chose to work in, devalued experience and the wishes of those they supported. I worked in the care industry, normally a working class occupation which saw the influx of inexperienced managers from the destroyed middle classes who thought it a divine right to manage despite it being a specialised area that requires people to know and understand what good and bad practice is.
I watched as they hired females and gay men some without experience at all, some post graduate all of them lost, and hooked on the notion of making a mark through change to the systems and environment without a thought for those under their care.
I was good as well as very confident at what I did and would challenge this. I was eventually let go.

Really thankful haven't experienced any sjw disease at workplace as near as I can tell. The couple of women there have been either artists or support personnel, but to my experience, they've been skilled in their fields and hired on merit. The engineer team though is all white, middle Eastern, or Asian dudes. No drama flare ups, people there work together.

Most people there stay out of politics, aside from one guy there, which I get into minor bants with. Didn't get fired for voting trump.

I dropped out of the corporate race to be a pipe welder. Figure might as well do a little labor while I'm young enough, discovered that the pay is ridiculous, the hours are just right, and it's a pretty comfy life, even now when oil is down (a good welder is always needed). Anyway, literally every job I bid, I have to pass a welding test for. Every single one. I've got four years of awesome references and never had one weld fail inspection, but every job I have to show up and show my potential clients that I can make a good weld, and that's the way it'll be as long as I do this job.
