#womenwhocode

0 message0 participant0 message aujourd’hui

One of the most exhausting things about being a (perceived) woman working in computational physics is dealing with men who don't think women can do physics and men who don't think women can code (there is a lot of overlap here). Things men have tried to 'explain' to me recently:
- Basic coding practices
- A topic I have published papers on
- How to debug a code ("have you tried adding print statements")
- How code releases work
- My own ideas 😫

Are you just like me? Do you want to make fantastically beautiful posts and not be limited by a silly 500 character fence, but want to BANG intricate stories of 10.000 characters?

Don't be limited by those silly 500 character servers!

Browse over here, find an instance that's suitable to you and go there. The list doesn't have everyone who has that massive 5,000 character size, but the list has a lot of servers, so pick one choose one and go be the literary giant that you are

And yes there are servers which have a fantastically glorious 10,000 character limit!

Day 11 Prompt: "Impossible day - Try to do something that feels impossible for you to do. Maybe it is impossible. Maybe it’s too ambitious. Maybe it’s something you know nothing about how to accomplish."

I'm going back to a past prompt and challenge. Something impossible. It has been impossible for me to earn the pay a man would receive for my work, if he had done it.

Why create discussion on something controversial of which you know that it has not materialized within The Awesome VLC?

I'm correcting myself without removing my words. It seems like VLC is teasing that feature

I don't want it.

It is unnecessary and it eats resources

When I started my pre-Master in Computer Science, I had no experience with programming, command lines, git, Linux, ssh, ...

The pre-Master consisted of Bachelor-level courses from all three Bachelor years. Hence, from day 1, I had to be able to program at the level of a 3rd year Bachelor student, in multiple programming languages.

Unsurprisingly, this was a steep learning curve for me. Being surrounded by people who had been writing code since they were 8 years old contributed massively to my sense of insecurity and anxiety. Being surrounded by mostly men, who in some cases really felt the need to put me in my place whenever I showed any sign of competence, really didn't help me feel better.

This has kinda stayed with me. Even though I sometimes encountered people who were way more clumsy than I was in working with these tools, I still felt massive imposter syndrome.

Just now, a software developer sat next to me as I typed commands into my terminal. Afterwards, he remarked that I clearly know my way around the command line.

I wouldn't say that I'm healed now, but this for sure felt like a win.

it seems that local technical #meetups are on life support in many cities. the news about #womenwhocode really set me back this week knowing the impact they have had on many women in the industry.

i would love to hear some positive news about groups that meet regularly that are thriving. link me!
