The article says multiple times that when young people make choices about e.g. should they learn programming, they of course use their own free will, but they often decide based on incorrect expectations. As another example it mentioned how men often avoid becoming an English major for similar reasons. I&#x27;m not sure if english majors consider a skewed gender representation for their craft, but frankly I don&#x27;t think I even care. What I do care about is the fact that computer science now gets dumber people by scaring away people through false expectations.<p>Doing small things to fix these flawed expectations has nothing to do with dismissing others as little girls who only care about nail polish. Articles suggestions like changing the course name from &quot;programming in java&quot; to a more descriptive &quot;creative problem solving with python&quot; hardly warrants such criticism.
