I’m assuming it supposed to represent Arlington’s location within the original square District of Columbia, before the Virginia portion was retroceded back to the state.
Girls don’t wanna work in CS because CS boys always be treating the class like a hookup scene. And it’s not every boy, but if there’s 2 girls and 20 boys in the class, and 10% of the boys are being creeps, then you’ve already got a problem.
Parents have gotta stop teaching their sons to see class as a dating opportunity. On campus, sure, but not in the classroom.
I actually had an argument while in college with my Comp Sci advisor. I argued I shouldn’t have to take a foreign language, that I couldn’t pass, because I was learning so many programming languages. They didn’t buy it. I didn’t complete the program. :-D lol
I mean objectively the language has fundamental problems. I don’t think anybody would fight you on that, but all programming languages have quirks. Modern JS definitely isn’t as bad as the frequency of the joke warrants. And if the demographic of this community is anything like the other site, it’s largely comprised of 1st and 2nd year CS Students who have only ever written in whatever language their curriculum teaches (Python or Java).
Agreed, it’s incredibly tedious. It also creates a really toxic “oh, we’re real programmers over here, JS devs suck” kinda vibe which can be incredibly unwelcoming especially to newer devs who might be seeking a community.
I think the “real” programmers are scared because you can now do basically anything in js/ts, and they’re going to have to learn something they’ve always looked down on.
With web assembly coming fast a lot of these people are going to start realizing it would be nice to have a cheaper, js-only developer on hand. Then mgmt is going to realize they can have more developers that aren’t total pains in the ass. And so long “real” programmers.
Then, some day, I think js will be the only language - or something like js.
