Mês das Mulheres
Vamos lembrar dela!
Grace Hopper (1906–1992) foi pioneira da computação. Matemática e oficial da Marinha dos EUA, participou da criação do primeiro compilador e contribuiu para a linguagem COBOL, usada em sistemas empresariais. Seu trabalho abriu caminhos para gerações de profissionais da tecnologia.

Começamos por relembrar ela!
Ada Lovelace (1815–1852)
Matemática britânica considerada a primeira programadora da história.
Escreveu o primeiro algoritmo destinado a ser executado pela Máquina Analítica de Charles Babbage, antecipando conceitos fundamentais da computação.

I really enjoyed @Felienne's narrative about narratives about Computer Science yesterday. She applied some of the ideas presented in the Glaciers, Gender and Science paper (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0309132515623368) to her experiences in the Computer Science / Programming Languages communities. She's also starting a reading club to brainstorm the meaning (and the name?) of the field of "Computer Science".

In a slack discussion about sexism and gender equity in the sciences, my colleague accidentally typed "scientits" instead of "scientists".

I still think about this daily and I still want a T-shirt with that word.

When I started my pre-Master in Computer Science, I had no experience with programming, command lines, git, Linux, ssh, ...

The pre-Master consisted of Bachelor-level courses from all three Bachelor years. Hence, from day 1, I had to be able to program at the level of a 3rd year Bachelor student, in multiple programming languages.

Unsurprisingly, this was a steep learning curve for me. Being surrounded by people who had been writing code since they were 8 years old contributed massively to my sense of insecurity and anxiety. Being surrounded by mostly men, who in some cases really felt the need to put me in my place whenever I showed any sign of competence, really didn't help me feel better.

This has kinda stayed with me. Even though I sometimes encountered people who were way more clumsy than I was in working with these tools, I still felt massive imposter syndrome.

Just now, a software developer sat next to me as I typed commands into my terminal. Afterwards, he remarked that I clearly know my way around the command line.

I wouldn't say that I'm healed now, but this for sure felt like a win.

Why can't just one single good work thing happen to me without a guy finding it necessary to remind me that my purpose in life is to be fucked by men, and that I'm not even good enough for that?

Like... just why?

Something positive happened and now I feel like shit.

I actually asked about the role that luck plays in an industry career vs an academic career. Prof. Hoda corrected me, and said that it was more appropriate to talk about "opportunities" than luck. I think she has a point there.

Still, I feel like part of our success comes down to luck, and particularly the part of being born with a certain gender/ethnicity/neurotype/(dis)ability/citizenship/etc.

@ednl should probably have added #NotTheLanguage or something.
My previous research group was also called Ada. I guess if we keep naming things after the same woman, this might be an indication that we do need more #WomenInComputing , if only to sniff confusion 🤷‍♀️

After the last coffee break I needed to talk to a colleague, so I missed most of the last session.

Thanks to the organisers and the speakers for sharing their insights with us!

Anyway: what I like about prof. Hoda's point is that academia can be a bit of an ivory tower bubble, and "real" questions from industry can really ground, guide and inform your research.

In almost each talk, the speaker reflects on what they like to do. I'm both surprised and relieved that none of them mention their actual field.

Prof. Rubin likes writing papers.
Prof. Chechik likes talking with and learning from others.
Prof. Suhendra likes creating good presentations.

I love the title of the next talk: SE Career as a Function of Your Degree and Personality, by prof. Vivy Suhendra.

"CS is developing so fast, that what we study is less important than the skills you learn while you study it. However, there is overlap between what you learn in undergraduate studies and what we'll eventually do at work."

Prof. Chechik talked about the differences between academic research and industry research. She gave some examples of times where she collaborated with industry, while still being able to do academic research.

I loved her outlook on supervision. Her research directions are in large part informed by the curiosity of her students.
