On managing outrage in Silicon Valley

In the sixties you would type punch cards and make sure you typed correctly so that you don't mess the batch run.

EDIT: it was more of a secretarial type of job. And women would socialize with other women on the job.

The point is that aside from the title, the IT industry then is in no way what we understand by IT industry now.

And today you build CRUD apps and get paged to reboot servers.

(Also, uh, I feel like "make sure you typed correctly" is a special case of "detail-oriented," which we just had an article yesterday trying to claim that men are better at because autism is more prevalent in men.)

Women clearly aren't cut out for the brave new world of statically typed languages.

Living in this fantasy where biology does not matter is just a way for SJWs of denying reality.

This blatant attempt at distorting reality to fit one's self is due to cause more trauma than to alleviate it.

Time will tell. It is just a sign of immaturity.

Women get bored to sit down and just make sure the form to collect your user's data is correct.

And, honestly, it is more fulfilling to work/interact with others in a school/hospital/social setting than toil away in a cubicle.

Raising a child or teaching might actually be more exciting than starring at a screen.
