Haha, someone posts something about the history of computing, and bh immediately forks it as a separate topic.
Not just users …
There’s two reasons for my use of the word “remarkably”:
- All those people credited with being the / a “father of computing”, and in some cases building an early hardware device, were men (hence no one is ever called “mother of computing”, or “parent”), whereas among programming pioneers women were almost dominant.
- Information Technology is often regarded as a masculine field of work (for no substantial reason, I agree).
