- DanBC 12y agoWhen she does it it's data entry; when he does it it's programming? The blatant unrepentant sexism in this thread, not just you but a bunch of other people, is disturbing.
- exstudent2 12y agoNo, the male programmers back then were doing data entry too. It mainly has to do with the transition from punch cards to digital storage. A "programmer" was someone who entered a program or data into a computer. The definition of the role changed as computers did.
