Not sure how I ended up with male surnames and female first names, but there you go.
- telesilla 10y ago"Charles, Alan and Maurice" are not particularly stand-out names in a field of men. You could use "Lovelace, Hopper and Hamilton" to be more balanced, perhaps.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoDijkstra should probably be in there somewhere. He was one of first to structure systems in such a way they could be made correct the first time. Did that in the "THE" system. Plus adding to formal methods.
- mcv 10y ago> Not sure how I ended up with male surnames and female first names, but there you go. A common but subtle sort of sexism in our society, I suspect. I noticed a lot of people talking about Hillary and Trump during the election. Whenever I saw that, I tried to counter with Donald and Clinton, but despite that, I fear I wrote about Hillary and Trump more often than about Donald and Clinton.
