I'm not white (or asian). Yet, I know that I'm easily better than most programmers in my peer group. This simply due to starting at an earlier age, unknowingly choosing supportive communities using worthwhile languages, and unglamorously persisting into the next level. None of which is genetically special to anyone.
However, I find that the 'white (middle-class) male are stereotypically better programmers' exists because in large part it's true. On the occasion which I find someone with a similar socio-economic background to me, they often have huge knowledge gaps and choose bad technologies because they want the money.
This doesn't mean most 'white (middle-class) male' programmers are good. In fact, the probably have largest amount of the worst because they outweigh other groups. And because of that, they also have the larger segment of skillful outliers.
On the internet no one knows you're neither white nor middle-class.

>>1 The tech industry isn’t still predominantly white and male because white men are better at their jobs than everyone else, it’s because many white men have had more opportunities to succeed than their minority and female counterparts.
Poor sod can't into logic even, prolly a coloured wymyn. What she tried to say was that white men are better at their jobs than everyone else, but that's not because of genetics, but because they had more opportunities to become better. So we, like, should totally respect and hire incompetent minorities because they try hard too! Lol.
I'm not very good, but i'm much better than most of the colleagues i've ever had.
I don't think that's because I have a superior intelligence (just 125 IQ), but because I really love programming. Everyone else seems to do it just for the money. And it shows. Uncommented code, copy/pasted blocks of code instead of good design, complete lack of unit tests, no one likes to document anything.

No, it just measures my ability to pass IQ tests. But most of the questions on IQ tests are pattern recognition. And that's an important part of creating an algorithm or implement an QUALITY ENTERPRISE SCALABLE TURNKEY SOLUTION
Why don't these "diversity" faggots bitch about the NBA? There are clearly too few whites and almost no asians in the NBA. Blacks dominate the NBA not because they're the best at basketball but because of their connections and socioeconomic status, as well as race and gender!

Why do I like anuses so much? Why do we, as a community, are so fond of anuses?
I don't know. I can't explain why, but it feels so good to think about anuses
