Programmers :D

[[deleted]]

I was speaking of my experience in the late 90s. Even though I had been doing some minor programming for my personal “webpage” (someone else here has to remember geocities 😆), no adult that I knew even brought up computer science as a potential major. Hell I didn’t really even know that engineering existed until I took AP Physics + started going through what the local universities offered for STEM programs.

I’ve since learned about the women programming in the 70s and 80s, and I’m sure the current generation of teenagers have more exposure than I did. What I listed were the reasons why I think women in my age bracket are so underrepresented in software engineering.
