Oh my god this is amazing.

Computers are like cars, if you don't know how to use them safely, you shouldn't be using them unsupervised.

Nobody thinks that women entering tech is an existential threat.

let me tell you dude, some people see it as one (and have told me as much). Tech is their thing and me coming in as a woman who sees this as a good career choice and not something where I can essentially get paid for my hobby aggravates them. I'm ruining their "safe, nerdy space", essentially.

I already have my degree (in CS).

btw shout out to Jessica Livingston! Amazing program.

Ok so your beef is with the grammar, cool. "two programmers who identify as female" there ya go

Can you please point me in the direction of this special treatment because I've never received any. I would love to fly through a FAANG interview because I'm a woman.

I'm not even being facetious, where is all this special treatment? Clearly I'm missing out.

encouragement != being put on a pedestal.

No this is great, because "two programmers" most would automatically assume are men. Maybe once shit has been sorted out and its not some fantastic amazing thing that women are in tech and it becomes more normal we won't have to state "women programmers" but until then, I'm down for this.
