Computer Programmers .... 3.9%
I count 9 women out of about 230 which comes out to...
3.91%
What is the point you are trying to make anyway? Are you going to go on to tell me black people suck at programming to because they don't compose 25% of that list (but do compose 25% of graduates in CS from the stats you linked)?
Get over yourself.
- mynameishere 19y agoWomen comprise 25.3 percent, not 3.9 percent.
- jamiequint 19y agofair enough, I misread the chart, but my last statement still stands (with numbers swapped 3.9% black, 25% female). Your point?
- bvttf 19y agoHis point was that female programmers aren't superior to male ones. Remember he quoted "women are better programmers because they have less ego". Which is a huge load on both counts.
- Tichy 19y agoReplying to that by "no, men are better programmers than women" doesn't seem the way to go. Especially in response to a rant about faulty statistics skills. That argument with 99% whatever certainly was extremely faulty (I can't even begin to describe how faulty, it is just waaaaaaay off). It just goes to show that some carefulness with statistics would be a good idea. Anyway, that response basically proved the point of the article.
