Oh, I see. So, since no one said, "Hey, you've been coding for 100 days! Here's EVERYTHING YOU DID WRONG" then clearly, we're all just too sexist to treat women like people.

If there _is_ any pussy-footing here (er, no pun intended) and I in no way am acknowledging that there is, it is in reaction to the extreme chauvinism of coders like you.

Kind of. I see lot of endorsements, but no evidence that someone actually read her code. There is also nobody who followed her on daily basis, since her announcement year ago.

You do not understand my basic complain. I do not mind girls get special treatment (not that she would need it). I mind that boys do not get the same special treatment.

There is a huge shortage of developers, but I only see helping programs to encourage GIRLS coding. There are FEMALE only internships and so on. Men are only 38% of college graduates.

Now when men learns to code by himself despite education system, he is called chauvinism because he is proud of his achievements.

Yeah, because when you're playing MarioKart, you don't get a blue shell if you're already in first place.

Perhaps you have not noticed that most loosers are men.

Oh no, I totally see how horribly oppressed we men are, especially in technical fields. It is so hard to have all these minority groups fighting back against our millennia of dominance, trying to take a tiny sliver of the pie.

I see now that I'm speaking to one of those men's rights nutballs. Open your mind and try to see from another person's point of view. Our conversation is finished.
