Go figure.

that is just sad. yet so many will say sexism does not exist

Claims to be able to program in C++, Java

"Pfft yeah probably only in Hello World"

No that's Elon Musk. He's full of shit. This Victoria Secret model can actually do something.

I was so glad we had a woman join our dev team some months ago. It's more fun, more relaxed and we are able to get better results as we just cover a wider area of skills. People gatekeeping programming to include only men are idiots.

Some fragile male egos in this thread. Looking forward to your complaints about the Barbie movie. Sad and pathetic.

It's annoying sometimes that people just assume that those who don't work in tech are completely clueless about tech.

It's also really funny to mess with people who assumes that.

Tbf, the original photo was already discounting her abilities. Saying "can program code" for a lead SWE is saying like "can do calculus" for physicist.

Whenever I see someone taking down these absolute bottom of the barrel incel dork on social media, it just feels like shoo-ing a squirrel off the bird feeder. Just not even worth taking action

I manage a software engineering organization at an aerospace company and if I had to rank all my folks, the women would be disproportionately high on the list. It boggles my mind that anyone would discount someone's programming ability because of their gender.

ITT: basically a reddit comment section on a post with any woman.

Guess the "it feels like Lemmy is more positive" days are over. So it goes.

She makes a valid point, but on the other hand, she causes funny feelies in the incels’ pantsal region.

Basically they're scared and intimidated. Here is a person who is beautiful and intelligent and has made something of herself and that highlights their own inabilities.

I think sexism is only part of the problem, they'd have a similar response to a male model who had a successful tech career.

She a boss fr

Those guys are pathetic

A hello world in MIPS is impressive by itself.

I'd be impressed by anyone who could "Hello, world" in MIPS

There’s so many fragile men out there.

MIPS as in assembly language for MIPS CPUs? If so that's pretty harcore.

Pretty impressive!

841st fastest growing company in the us

Weird flex, but ok

What a waste

Yeah it must suck to be able to travel the world and do photoshoots for a living, while also being a software engineer on the side (probably a better one than those commenters too)

It's almost like they don't know who Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, Radia Perlman, etc. are.

Intelligent and attractive? Out of my league, gotcha. Best to undermine one of those aspects to attempt to bring her down to my level. Well closer anyways.

I admire her. Excelling in two radically different areas.

Yeah tell 'em queen!

I don't understand some people. Why do you go online and try to bring down strangers that you've never met in your life and probably never will? Why? What do you gain beside looking like a complete asshole?

Am I the only one that doesn't think it's a waste if a gorgeous person does modeling/acting? If I had a body people wanted to ogle I would be using that power 24/7 instead of sitting here in a shitty office under fluorescent lights pretending to care about work while they pretend to care about me.

I always sort of hated this image. The point seems to be that one should jump to the idea the replies are racist and / or sexist. But when you actually look at who the post is from it’s clearly from some “facts” account / company thing. Which honestly should lead to a degree of incredulity. It’s the same kind of thing as “this 22yr old bought just their second house” and then you read two paragraphs and actually their parents gave them a small loan of a million dollars to start their real estate business.

Like, the whole point of the post is to bait people into saying that kind of thing, so when people fall for it it’s kinda understandable.

She is amazing isn't she? I wish I was that well educated :)

I'm sure she's a programmer. But she's a programmer who drops her Stack Overflow score... let's just say that's a red flag in my book. (For all programmers).

For non programmers, it's like someone dropping their reddit karma score, or the number of their subscribers on Youtube as the first thing they say. Basically "my most important accomplishment is some rather unimportant digits".

(Views matter far more than subscribers on youtube, mostly because subscribers can easily be manipulated)

Ok but... What about that white top? Am I the only one that thinks it's freaking weird? 🤔

Queeen !

I don't understand why people absolutely need to make everything about man vs woman.

If it was a male model those people would have written exactly the same. If tomorrow comes out an article saying the same thing about bred pitt everyone would be suspicious about that being fake too

Since the two jobs are so disconnected from each other it sounds unlikely and they assumed it was some clickbait fake post, that's all.

I'm absolutely for equality and against any discrimination against women or any other category, but making this into a gender battle is ridiculous

What is that...new.. sentiment that i am feeling.. 🥰

Men are so terrible when someone other than themselves gets attention

Love Amherst. Really needs to change its name.

I wish i could do half of what she pulled off. Life would be fullfilling.

can program code

Such a weird sentence

You know what. Good on her. Proud of her doing what she loves. You go girl!

Intelligent and beautiful? Psh, what a waste

Holy shit.

Noice. I encourage more females in stem

Itt: people getting upset over joke comments.

If there was a post about a male model saying the same thing the comments would be exactly the same. Not everything is about gender or race.

Does she give lessons?

This is some good shit. As a white American male, I say: fuck sexism and racism. You go, girl.

Yeah... hostile work environment... sure

That is exactly what they would make up for a headline... Yeah, of course, guys...

Lead engineer = doesn't write code anymore, management role

So she's a dev who does modelling. Good for her? But what's the big deal?

If the picture showed some ugly guy with the same list of skills, nobody would bat an eye. The list of languages seem like pretty regular set of languages (with the exception of MIPS, where I guess it means MIPS assembler, but most people who studied computer science pick up the one or the other random weird language by the wayside).

Of course, the comments of these idiots that are attacking her are idiotic, but I think the author of the text on the picture is falling for a similar pitfall, being surprised that someone who does modelling would have an intellectual carreer next to it.

All of them (except of course the dev in question) fall for the same idiotic misconception: They believe a woman can either be intelligent or good looking.

How the hell does she program in mips? I thought that was a unit of measurement

Double major in comp sci and theatre.

Wait that's only one major, what's the second one?
