It's wild how computer programming went from exclusively women's work to "we're not sexist we just don't think women are interested in it" in like 40 years

@jpkmensah

Pure coincidence the industry migration from solutions-oriented to maximal-profit motives occurs in this same time frame.

Gates taught us two things: people don't want working software, they want software NOW, and where there's a want, there's extortion money to be made.

Add to that how the girls in John Nash's lab didn't behave according to his Game Theory market model, so their data was excluded from publication.

Are girls 'uninterested'? Or just smarter… 😅

@teledyn @jpkmensah I remember being ridiculed for using a Mac, and I’m like, why do I have to spend all this time telling a box what to do when a Mac will just do it? This observation is more relevant to the 90s than today.
