Five or six years ago the STEMweenies were shilling working in tech because da es jay doubleyous mainly stuck to humanities. Now you have the normal STEMweenies along with the types of dudes who worry about microaggressions.
This thread is being locked - it's a dumpster fire of misogyny and sexism, and it's why as a mod I'm always against allowing shit like this because we apparently lack the maturity to have these kinds of discussions. It's locked. Take your garbage elsewhere. Happy International Women's Day.
EDIT - For everyone saying "Yes, that's why", we don't have a clue what OP's credentials are beyond "one semester of CS" (could have been a math/stats major with skills the bank thought were useful) - not nearly enough detail to say definitively anything about why this person was selected for interview.
EDIT2 - For those of you that feel the need to report my comment and say "this is not misogyny", I'm referring to the comments that have already been deleted and not the post itself. Posts like this invite misogynistic comments, which is why some of the mods try to remove them early - especially when they aren't actually interesting (like the post here). Mistaken identity isn't a CS Career Question.
Everyday I pray more and more for modicide. What a queer.
Are you asking why someone who willingly, day in and day out, spends their free time cleaning up spam and deleting comments online for no pay is a loser? Isn't it obvious?
wow look how BRAVE and STRONG this mod is for standing up to these MISOGYNISTIC bullies! I better throw some real life money at this big corporation to let him know how much I appreciate his janitorial efforts!
We had our own y'all can't behave moment in my local subreddit today when a mod froze a thread before going to bed because they expected it would attract problematic commentary. Gave a non-apology apology when called out.
Plus, I've always liked working with exclusively male workspaces more than ones with females just because males are able to stay away from drama. Every woman I've worked with just brings drama into the workplace that isn't necessary.
My girlfriend works with all females and nothing gets done because they spend 90% of the time bitching at each other.
LOL not my experience at all. My female coworker was very easy to work with. My male coworker had a huge giant ego and would confront me every few weeks with some paranoid shit where he imagined I was disrespecting him.
He'd do shit like: I go to him asking if a certain idea is a good idea -> he says yeah that's ok, or more often, no don't do that that's idiotic -> I ignore implement it anyway -> it's an awesome success -> I talk about it with the boss in some kind of email -> boss compliments me on my work -> male coworker later confronts me and claims that he came up with the entire idea himself -> is mad at me for "stealing 'his' idea" that he had dismissed and tried to torpedo in the first place. I eventually stopped asking him for advice on *anything* and just started going to the boss directly for approval after he did this several times in a row, claiming to have come up with an idea that was actually mine and I had merely come to him for advice on. I wonder how confused he was that these ideas kept happening without his involvement.
Fuck men and their goddamn ego. Always capable of inventing a thousand imagined slights against them.
IKR! I actually prefer hanging out with women, my best two frieds are feeeeeeemales and what the hell, I may just be a proto-doormat / emotional cuck , but when it comes to work, women are the fucking worst.
Most tech people talk a ton of shit about common interviewing practices in the industry.
The tasks/questions used sure try to objectively measure something, but whether that thing in any way translates to day-to-day job performance is a question that not even the interviewers themselves can answer.
The process can also be gamed by grinding a lot of material specifically geared towards interviews (as opposed to real world use).
That's mostly big corporations though, a lot of smaller companies you can just talk to someone and make a good impression. Which may very well be just as accurate at selecting good candidates.
My point was, I never heard of anyone hiring an IT dude for his sense of humor (typically, non-existent), the way he is dressed or the looks or just the fact that he's a dude.
The people who make the decision may not even know why they hired someone. They may have a "good feeling about this candidate", based on whatever subconscious factors. Same goes for the opposite bad feeling. Even if they know, it's not like they're always going to tell you (maybe months/years later over a beer).
I've usually found applying to large corporations with dumb interview questions as a screening method to be entirely pointless. Just let me fucking talk to a developer for half an hour. Christ.
People are hired mostly from "networking". I.e. scratching your cronies back. Since white dudes are mostly friends with white dudes, this is mostly white dudes.
​
Like how fucking naive can you be.
I was mostly hired because my boss talked to me and decided that I probably wasn't an autist tard like all the other people he talked to and wouldn't do something retarded in front of the owners of the contract. Boy was he in for a surprise.
The software company I work for is about 50% women...and everyone there is a massive shitlord, it's glorious.
Some of the shit they come out with is hysterical. Imagine a big black woman bursting into the room and announcing "Time for reparations crackers" when collecting money for my coworker's birthday gift.

If tech had only women in it there would be nothing getting done in tech. Foids are lazy as fuck.

And they have to be carried through everything so companies can hold then up as evidence of their commitment to diversity.

For women tho...
