I Am Alex St. John’s Daughter, and He Is Wrong About Women in Tech
&gt; Worst of all, many women enter into CS majors only to find that they are already hopelessly behind as they discover that their male counterparts already know the material from tinkering in their childhoods.<p>My college experience was quite different. I never tinkered with computers or electronics during my childhood, and I had no problems getting up to speed. In fact, I&#x27;d say most of my peers at the community college I went to had zero programming experience. The instructors didn&#x27;t assume any prior knowledge, either.
