Programmers used to be so hostile to women that they needed to transition (evolve) to refill the niche.
Makes sense, now where do furries fit into that..?
Accommodation for misanthropes.
that is not how a confidence interval... never mind.
The confidence interval is 1% - 199%
I donβt make the rulesβ¦. but I have observed far too often for it to be coincidence that the more brilliant a type theorist is, the more likely it will be that they identify as π³οΈββ§οΈ or π³οΈβπ.
Counterpoint: I used to be a computer scientist in obscure languages, I'm as cis as they come, and I've always been absolutely average. Wait that's not a counterpoint at all
Counterpoint: I am a trans woman in CS and I am incompetent
Maybe you just have imposter syndrome: you think you work in CS but you actually work in retail.
That's...not...
That's not very sus? Well I disagree, and BTW I saw you in the engine room, what were you doing? Maybe you're the one with impostor syndrome

Big if true
come the fuck on
string bigIfTrue(Boolean size)
{
string toAssign = '';
if (size == true)
{
toAssign = 'big';
}
else
{
toAssign = 'small';
}
return toAssign;
}
true ? 'big' : '';
My beloved
Bloat. Nobody asked for else.
Or assignment. Just return.
So very wrong.
"big" != "Big"
shit time to git commit sudoku
Syntactically correct - the best kind of correct!!
String bigIfTrue(Boolean size)
{
if (size == true){ return "big" }
return "small";
}
Where's your interface and factory?
This actually gets loaded as a WASM module by a server less API service when a user ask if true return big
