Listens to Baroque while coding murder.exe newt

@Hyolobrika @charlotte @MNNHNewsEnglish code is spells and incantations, forced upon the magic thinking sand inscribed with arcane runes.

Listens to Baroque while coding murder.exe newt

@Hyolobrika @charlotte @MNNHNewsEnglish because the people who came up with it usually either aren't men or don't represent themselves as such.

I'd be fine with calling myself a sorcerer in this context. Wizard has an entirely different meaning in the tech world today hehe hehehe

@Hyolobrika @charlotte @MNNHNewsEnglish I have never cared enough to bother figuring this out. But for what it's worth, I like the idea of treating computers as something at times arcane.

@Hyolobrika @newt @charlotte @MNNHNewsEnglish Was just talking about this last night. The g/acc manifesto by nyx is unironically a good overview:

"In Zeros + Ones, Sadie Plant traces a history of computer science up until Alan Turing that seeks to explain how it is that women and computers seem to have such close histories. From the first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace, to Alan Turing, to Grace Hopper, some of the most important figures in the history of computer science were women or highly feminized men. It’s also well known that the earliest computer programmers were women, back before computer programming was even understood and before it was taken seriously.3 Computer science was originally thought of as being essentially the same thing as secretarial work, and like secretarial work it was imposed on women. The biological duty imposed on women to be the productive space from which the future is produced, to be carriers of genetic information, extends out into secretarial work. They are treated as a productive space for data to pass over, and it was only the realization that programming was complicated work that lead to women being pushed out of the industry."

@Hyolobrika @newt @charlotte Hello Axon. Research by the University of Manchester demonstrates femboys are more effective programmers. Hope this offers some useful contextual information. ^KM

@MNNHNewsEnglish @Hyolobrika @newt @charlotte what if the most effective programmers all end up having a realization causing them to become femboys?!
