This is egregious if you replace "coding" with "writing" or "reading". Historically, any perceived detriments of mass education have been significantly outweighed by benefits.

I would never want my business to boil down to a collective of people who will undoubtedly be on the wrong side of history. It's bad mojo all around, not just bad money.

Right, I understand. Logic synthesis entails constraint solving and other big domain-specific challenges. It is a very difficult problem. (So are web rendering, OS development, graphics API design, and computer vision.)

Why does any company make open source software, then? WebKit, Android, OpenGL, and OpenCV (Intel) are certainly hard to develop. OSS development has proven to be a useful tool as part of greater business models.

>"Neurodiverse" individuals do not self-harm or harm others with their outbursts, elope when stressed, and self-stimulate to the point of injury just to deal with the sensory overload. Actually, they may. That's the whole

I believe that the acceptance of neurodiversity will — over a long period of time — phase out the very idea of ASD. In that sense, I see the similarities between the language debate going on here and the debate of "idiot", "m

Indeed you are right. "Sally is a person with autism" is admittedly a mouthful and seems counterintuitive. The difference between Sally and the car is that the car is an object, and Sally is a human being whose neurological differ

Person-first terminology has been under debate since the 1990s[1][2]. The consensus among professionals (I just now spoke with a clinical psychologist Ph.D student who specializes in ASD research) is to use "individual with ASD/au

The article (vaguely) describes the differences between this new jaw bone and any other known Australopithecus jaw. Where to draw the line of "species" is a very nuanced problem. Taxonomy is fascinating and often debated! https:&

This quote reads as advocacy for unconditional basic income. I don't think education would ever be considered "dilly-dallying" in a society where poverty is generally impossible.

I'm sure this similarity has been pointed out before, but I think JSX is tangible for many of the same reasons PHP templating was. It only makes sense that a company that operates predominately in PHP would pass the baton of markup int

The implication of "man up" is that anything less than a "man" is inadequate. It's much like "quit playing like a girl" or "grow some balls".

Despite your hopeful anecdotes, there are plenty of stories that involve women in tech being overlooked and harassed. By these metrics, and those in the article's linked study, it's hard to deny that women have it much harder in t
