Tech bros’ attitude to female colleagues stuck in dark ages::Research sheds light on attitudes holding industry back
Tech bros’ attitude to female colleagues stuck in dark ages::Research sheds light on attitudes holding industry back
worst time of my life was when i was in computer science. i’m a guy but still - that hyper competitive shit is horrilbly toxic. letters on a computer don’t need to be boot camp toughen up bullshit.
Where was that? I found compsci to be an extremely supportive environment where almost everyone was trying to help each other.
Yea, I mostly remember trauma bonding with classmates at 3am working on a project due at 8am
Me too. That’s exactly what I remember.
Electrical engineering major here, and it was very much the same. Very helpful supportive
Same here! Most people were very supportive and we commiserated a lot about our majors. And the same was the case for the entire engineering department.
The only anecdote I know about which is similar to the hyper-competitiveness in the top comment is from a friend who was a CS major in a different university but with a heavy entrepreneurship/business slant.
Honestly, I fare even worse in blue collar type environments. YMMV depending on your upbringing and general tolerance, but a lot of the “playful banter” I witness is stuff that would have you expelled from student associations these days.
That’s not an endorsement of tech bros btw. They are toxic. The fact that other people are toxic in a different way does not exonerate them.
You’re only allowed to criticize the tech bros now, otherwise you’re deemed toxic too.
I sure as hell ain’t about to praise fucking tech bros.
Maybe just quit your “Pc hAs gOnE tOoFaR” winging.
Never said you should.
