I would’ve assumed Heath to be laboring under an all consuming sense of “andouille”.

BT Dubs

That pun may indeed surpass the high bar of Heath himself. Well played, Sir.

as someone in a male dominated field currently, this is too real in my personal life rn...

Oh man. Love the show disappointed this is an article episode, deep internet lore and losers are Eli's niche.

What was the line that was "actually in the article?" I couldn't hear the second half due to all the laughter!

No, it's absolute bullshit when you recognize the whole reason why there aren't more women in coding is because generational sexism going back to the '60s and the women not having bank accounts Explaining : okay, because women didn't have bank accounts they didn't have extra means of discretionary funding AKA they didn't have the ability to spend on computers. So men pioneered it for a while. Because they held more money. This led to marketers targeting young men for computers. And computer games The more people got inspired by games they go into the tech industryand whatever masculinizing the workplace over time. This creating a vicious cycle prompting more and more women to not go into coding and software. Whereas a long time ago type writers and being a computer, somebody who computes math has been seen as women's work for a long time. The secretary etc But yeah, it's because of sexism that there aren't as many women and it's only now recovering the vicious wound

That’s either a picture of James Damore, or someone needs to adjust the vertical hold on Justin Long.

Thank you for explaining that. I never considered the financial barrier to tech for women. I, as a little girl in the 80s, was raised with computers because my father worked with them. I knew it was uncommon for people in my impoverished neighborhood to have PCs at home back then. But I never realized that if my father wasn’t around I -definitely- would not have had a computer in the house, for financial and practical reasons. That said, I studied a “soft” science in college and saw the extreme male-to-female ratio in computer science firsthand. I am glad you also mentioned video games. I -very- much remember the societal stigma that “video games were for boys.” I usually receive a doll instead of a video game growing up, even though I was encouraged to play my brother’s video games. It took a long time for me to even admit to -myself- that I too was a “gamer,” regardless of my gender and the types of games I gravitated towards.

I knew people like this. I'm a burnout who never had the intelligence for top-tier programming but I hung out with one of those guys and it's where my libertarian bias comes from. It took me 12 months to realize that you can't replace the government with insurance contracts.
