Women: Learn to Program This Summer
Isn&#x27;t programming a skill that can be learned alone in a fairly straightforward manner?  I mean, most programming languages have extensive documentation, tutorials and so on (at least FOSS dynamical languages like Python, Rust, Perl...).  From my personal experience and what I can guess about hackers I&#x27;ve talked to for instance on IRC, that&#x27;s how most guys learned it : the web is full of resources for whoever wants to learn.<p>Now, if for some reason women don&#x27;t take this road and &quot;need&quot; someone to hold their hand in order to learn programming, I would argue that maybe those women don&#x27;t have the intrinsic motivation to do so and trying to force it upon them may be a gross waste of time and resources.<p>Not to mention that programming can be a tedious and lame job (sitting in front of a computer all day is often mentioned as a genuine nightmare), so if you have to do it, you&#x27;d better love it in the first place.
