I just saw someone actually say that women cannot write assembly code.

All the women who are smart enough to disprove misogyny are, in one way or another, stripped of their femininity by others
@jackielovescompchem32 I’d word it “(…) are not included in the definition of femininity (…)” by the misogynists.
The power of definition is real. Not only for them but for all of us. -

A woman wrote the assembly code that got humanity onto the moon. Be grateful
@jackielovescompchem32 What a strange and utterly ridiculous thing to say. I, for one, do not use my genitals in coding at all. Not even a little bit.

@jackielovescompchem32 that statement is just untrue, software was largely written by women before men realised "oh actually this isn't easy" and ousted women and stole credit for everything

@StarkRG @jackielovescompchem32 Hadn't even occurred to my to try using my *ahem* on the keyboard.

@jackielovescompchem32 you should not pay attention to to stupid. We love you and your contributions.

I write assembly code, and I'm a woman

@jackielovescompchem32 I am a dude, I don't even know what assembly code is.

@jackielovescompchem32 good grief... It's hard to accept/realise that people are that stupid.

@jackielovescompchem32 Anybody who says that women can’t do [whatever] is an idiot.

@chojzina assembly code is a programming language where you directly write in CPU instructions. It's like a slightly less terrible version of machine language.
I have subjected myself to writing TI 84 code in hexadecimal with a Z80 reference chart I printed from the internet, and trust me, assembly is way easier.
I wrote the machine code by first writing assembly and putting in the bytes by hand.

@chojzina converting each instruction one by one, and then calculating offsets for branches.

@jackielovescompchem32 I wrote assembly code in high school.
@kellyosullivan me too!

@jackielovescompchem32 Maybe post the name of the person who said that. They are people who need outing so they cannot lurk in the dark and so we know who's brain is contaminated.
#fediverse #mastodon@lindasgoluppiart it was some idiot on YouTube

Here's some assembly I wrote, in an assembly language THAT WAS INVENTED BY A WOMAN
@ rem - calculate remainder through repeated subtractions
@ arguments:
@ R0 - Number we are going to divide
@ R1 - Number we are diving by
@ only changes the value of R0
rem:
CMP R0, R1 @ compare the remainder and the divisor
BLT end @ if the remainder is less than divisor, stop loop
SUB R0, R0, R1 @ subtract divisor from remainder
B rem @ loop back to the initial comparison
end:
BX LR @ return divisorOne last thing:
Trans women programmers are in fact women programmers. Trans women face many barriers simply for being who they are. Trans women have been kicked out of their careers, treated with disrespect, and been harassed for being trans women. And it's getting worse, not better.
And, as for the achievement bit: A trans woman invented VLSI, a trans woman invented ARM 32 bit assembly language, and trans women maintain many of the FOSS softwares you use today (including Asahi Linux and the VC4 Mesa driver, amongst other things)
And a trans woman wrote the post you are reading right now.

May remind that person that #assembly was invented and co-written by a woman and her husband. And she was subsequently scolded for doing so by a man named John von Neumann for wasting so much valuable computing time. Who, I assume, later came around to see the merits.

@jackielovescompchem32 Wiki says she also coined 'software engineering'!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hamilton_(software_engineer)@dcnorris @jackielovescompchem32 and men have been trying to prove her wrong for calling it engineering ever since

A trans woman also invented webkit, one of the first modern browser engines.

Most men who call themselves software engineers don't actually follow the principles of engineering the way Margaret Hamilton did.
