The Secret History of Women in Coding

Programming existed more that it could be ever imaged, that historical procedure, the combination of metal such as hardware and digits such as software, merged into one environment, at first that segmentation between hardware and software was notorious, by women being more likely to be programmers than men, but now a days this premise changes almost completely. There is often that question that pops out, why the differentiation, speaking of the treatment women had to endure through the whole human existence. The article titled The Secret History of Women in Coding mentions that out, there still exists sexism and discrimination, in this case in the environment of computer science. It had been very difficult to acknowledge the brilliant female minds that made extraordinary creations and gave birth to a whole new world of possibilities. Programming is label free, “the computer doesn’t even care if the programmer is female or black...” what ever race or ideology the programmer has. As a person, as a professional or a coder, it is our responsibility to acknowledge our surroundings and encourage to let other human beings to be comfort in our environment. There are some actions or gestures that are impregnated in our culture, in our daily lives, so that we don’t even analyze the context, some of those actions or gestures may be actions of micromachism, which exists because these actions could pass unnoticed. Therefor is our responsibility to know this actions and prevent them from happening in our context, for that will be the key factor for our daily interaction between each other.

Not only in computer science, it should be in all areas, that women and men could work together, in an atmosphere where respect exists.

Uncertainly exists on our comprehension of ourselves and our environment, how we accomplish to interact between ourselves, and why exist that definition and differentiation of every observable entity.

The Semicolon Wars

This article, The Semicolon Wars, is quite the argument by telling, why are there many language programs and they differ in syntax and other contexts, well, the author gets most of every explanation out of this. One of the topics mentioned in the article was the way of looking / analysing an entire problem or even, looking at the way of things, abstraction, If you see an object with my eyes, would you see it differently? Some programming languages are meant for some problems, depends on how you see the way of it. It comes to my mind the language... . not programming language, I mean German, the structure of the German language is quite describefull , for instance, take the word Grundstücksverkehrsgenehmigungszuständigkeitsübertragungsverordnung , looks a little bit scary, right? but if we look at it divided into the ideas that creates the meaning of this word we could understand why German is very precise. This in English is Land transaction approval transferring resp...

All I Really Need to Know about Pair Programming I Learned In Kindergarten

Pair programming has such potential that encourages to make two programmers work together in a simple task, roles are defined in this matter, one controlling the computer while the other is the observer, each one has to establish a communication in order to solve the presented problem. “Two minds think better than one”, and it is proven that pair programming gives better software results and is a technique that if it is used by the rules of kindergarten , w h ere the important thing is how every programmer is involved in the problem solution and the communication they have one and another. This simple task that is getting two people to work together in order to accomplish a certain task, i t s amazing, take for example music, two artists jamming together to perform a greater song, the role they are playing may differ from pair programming, but each musician has their own role in the performance. Some experiences in life presented in different environments could become a perfect metaph...
