Some of the answers in the quizzes are deliberately wrong... interesting, purposely making it frustrating so people subscribe to skip.

And porn degrades women right? Why are you offended? Do you really think this is a serious website? maybe the next Codecademy. On a lighter note, its really funny how you think "women must find it" offensive, but not for a single second you even thought that same statement is really really sexist. ps: About the website, on my scale between love it and hate it, its in the "who gives a f *?" category. Daytime televisio…

Yes. > On a lighter note, its really funny how you think "women must find it" offensive, but not for a single second you even thought that same statement is really really sexist. I am aware, I spent 10 minutes before posting trying to find a way to phrase it without sounding like that.

You can just say it's offensive. Qualifying it with your gender is the opposite of what you want to do.

#43Female developer here! I feel like this has to be click bait, right? No one is seriously positing this site as a serious way to learn to code. Right? "So how did you get into development, Mr. Job Candidate?" "It all started when I successfully completed every fap session at Codebabes.com..."
I suppose it might give one a leg up if they were applying for a job as webmaster for a porn site.

Not say it. Don't just assume you know the experience of the Other because you read some Tumblr blogs.

#46I am not going to speak for everyone. Porn isn't inherently bad, although the porn industry has a tendency to be incredibly manipulative and harmful to women.
This, however, is technical training. This says that programmers are people who want to look at models who are dressed like some board-driven abstract costume aimed to give straight 14 year olds get an erection. It says that programmers are male, and "men like babes", so therefore, men might want this.
This is harmful to our culture. This is harmful to women programmers, who now have further proof that they don't 'belong' here, that programming is 'for' them. This devalues what people think of me, and what I consider to be my craft.
This is C- misogynist garbage aimed at my community, and I don't fucking appreciate it.

#47This site and I share a very strong link.
Apparently neither of us consider PHP to be programming.

#48The PHP Virgin QUIZ is full of wrong answers! 1. To run PHP code it needs to be processed by a web server. They say TRUE. The answer is FALSE. - php-cli is used a lot (composer/phpunit/etc...) 2. If you inspect the source of a web page, will you ever see the PHP code? They Say YES. The Answer is FALSE - I mean maybe if you enable phps (php source) in your web server, but in most usage never. 4.In the following code s…
False. print is a language construct

#49They're just disrupting the established programming education institutions. Why all the hand-wringing?

I know this is likely an unpopular opinion but here it goes: what the fuck does this have to do with under-representation in our industry? There's medical-themed porn, school-themed porn and I'm sure someone in Japan has made at least one hacking-themed porn movie until now. That doesn't stop women from becoming doctors, going to school or hacking. There are striptease-themed news, too, and that doesn't prevent women…
> "I know this is likely an unpopular opinion but here it goes: what the fuck does this have to do with under-representation in our industry?" I agree. Aren't woman underrepresented in most STEM jobs anyways? And overrepresented in other jobs like e.g. kindergarten teachers? Woman are just wired differently as men. And perhaps woman are also conditioned differently as men from a young age (girls get to play with doll…
Under-representation doesn't only have to do with "women being wired differently". See, even women who have studied STEM are more likely to drop out from STEM jobs - for a series of reasons, but sexism seems to be one of them, so it's not off-topic here.
By the way, I do think we should also support diversity in some jobs where men are underrepresented, like teaching - I was reading a psychiatrist explain how the "girlification of elementary school" can be damaging for boys. (http://www.esquire.com/features/drugging-of-the-american-boy...)
