I’m sure you’re right. But how many art majors made their first pencil sketch at 18?
-
I'm not disagreeing with you so much as explaining that this is a topic some people have very strong political beliefs about.
-
The objection is factual, not political. Few CS undergrads have deep experience with programming before school.
-
That may well be true today. Didn’t feel like the case in early 90s. Did we stop teaching programming in schools? Why?
-
No. In the 80's and 90's home computers were marketed to boys. And we're still living with the impact of that in terms of gender gap.
-
Microcomputers weren't marketed to boys when they first appeared, but only boys were interested in them.
-
I hear the exact same lie today, women aren't interested in learning to code. We tweak our message and get more women than men at open days.
-
I believe the decrease in female CS majors was due to microcomputers. What's not true is that this was because they were marketed to boys.

Didn't take CS until college. Been a sw engineer for 5 years now. As a teen thought computers were for nerds. Turns out I was a nerd too

I don't see why it's angry to say it! Not everyone knows how awesome CS is until they try it
