     @sun @vriska 100% true, by now it's taking what was once considered supercomputing to help accountants fail at doing a job they could more easily do on paper

     @mia @vriska I don't remember the details but in school we were taught about a case where billions were spent to try to replace 1960s air traffic control consoles with modern equipment, and ended up failing and giving up

     @mia @vriska two of the best software engineers I have ever known were both women. I'm a fan.

     @mia @vriska huh I never looked into it but I knew about some notable women. I looked into it because sometimes history of that stuff is full of shit for political reasons but they I found they had legit cred.

     @sun @vriska computer programming itself (before the term referred to machines rather than people) was basically invented and shaped by women and unusually effeminate men
