Andy on ‘the facebook movie’

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

a: “Yes, there’s a lot of coding in this movie; as well as attractive women who love coding, and code related activity. It’s all right up your alley.”

r: “Despite popular belief that is apparently being perpetuated by this film, my years of programming, hacking and general computer nerdery have not yielded a similar response.  I figured, when I first got into computers, that I would literally have ladies lining up at my keyboard to get a piece of the action.  Sadly, that is far from the case, and most women’s (and men’s) eyes generally glaze over with boredom when I attempt to explain what I do.  I usually just say “consultant” when people ask now.”
