not directly, but trash-talking it and gatekeeping "real programming" from the language most likely to be used by women is not exactly conducive to improved equality in the profession.
i realise now that i didn't explicitly mention my point in the first post, so:
it's what html was designed for. there's nothing icky about it. with htmx et al the serverside web is coming back in a big way so we can finally drop this react stuff.
my entire way of reasoning about programming languages changed when i read on article about how hating on php was misogynistic. i clicked on it because it just sounded like yet another ragebait, but it made sense.
basically, since php is simple, and integrated with html, the vast majority of php devs started out as designers who later got into code. since php has always been a mess, nobody wanted to build mainstream tooling for it except the people actively working with the language. this means that mainstream ideas about language and tooling design didn't percolate down to php like it has done to most languages. so php devs, when exposed to tooling the rest of the world takes for granted, are usually overwhelmed because not only is there a lot of it, nobody in php-land uses tools like that. so they get called bad devs of a bad language. some of them, who really like to code, push through this massive difficulty spike, while others just assume that "actual programming" is too hard and go back to design, even though tooling usage has little to do with your skill as a programmer.
the kicker, of course, being that web design has more women than most other dev specialisations.
no, your debts stay through a personal bankruptcy. this is different.
with a strike system, you're good until you're not. a score system means you can be rejected from some places and accepted at others, giving scummy lenders an in.
also, there's none of that "your score is low because you have nothing to pay off" nonsense.
it lasts for five years i think. some places have a three-strikes system.
here, there's also a system that allows you to basically cancel your debt if it gets overwhelming. if you qualify, you can sign up to let the state take all the money you make above the level of minimum subsistence for five years, which they use to pay off your debt as far as possible, and after that the remaining debt is zeroed. there are a bunch of criteria, there basically has to be no way for you to pay it off by selling things, but it's there.
"god doesn't make mistakes" cuts both ways. if you're not comfortable with your assigned gender, that's because god made you that way, and therefore your actions to correct your problems is part of gods plan
the big difference i can see is that most systems described seem binary. if you don't pay your debs, you get a strike. the american system, as i had it explained to me, is based on cash flow, so you need to have debts to pay in order to get a good score.
i think that article describes many different systems and grouping them under a concept that's not necessarily related. the us system is definitely an odd man out.
