I won't paint it, this is just a lack of focus coupled with too much time spent watching movies.

u have an idea for an os, search engine, email, at the same time and ur looking for Nigerian programmers who are very good, but just happen to be unoccupied at the moment to help u implement these ideas?

go and get a job, bro. there's a difference between having a vision and being high. there's no iota of vision in what ur saying here.

huh? Probably a mistake. lol,

I don't think you understand what I meant by accountability. Programming is all about learning everyday single day. There are times when you need to talk to persons who have the same goals around you. Think of classmates studying together. I believe programming is more about interacting with people.
And for you to just conclude I am not ready to code...The reason why I don't like to mingle with senior female programmers.

trixandra, I feel you too. Dont take me too seriously, I was just making a point. and loooool at "senior female programmers". Trust me, I no be madam o. I am a learner's learner.

If you think youre all for female empowerment or whatever, giving someone opportunity ONLY because they are female is the worst thing you can possibly do(because an unqualified person will end up where a qualified person should be and mess up, reinforcing the bias that girls are inefficient). You should always use the best person for the job you can afford. Always. If that person happens to be female, then so be it.

To be sincere i understand what you mean, however the reason why it is such is because it has been "established" noticed in quote meaning that's how it's perceived that programming is male centric, however am happy this is not true, I know that, you know that, because it's the best candidate selected for the job, however in order to encourage female developers, we need to take some female developers as entry levels to train them, why so ? you might ask, to encourage others to see them as role models and aspire to be like them. in some ways it feels like subtle sexism but it's a necessary one. a good developer is a good developer sex has nothing to do with, I met one badass female dev in mauritius she contributed to the Python library "Twisted" she's hardcore.

I feel you. Taking someone in at entry level to train them is quite common, and very encourageable. The scenario I would have an issue is is where you take someone in to handle some really important responsibility, solely/chiefly because they are from Aba, or are a man/woman.

talk2hb1 , pcguru1,
I feel you guys.

trixandra,
'To try' means nothing in this world. All that matters is consistency, persistence, grit. Which you obviously did not possess at the time.
You're simply not ready to code. If you were or are, you would have done it/continued to do it with or without an "accountability partner". You yourself are probably more concerned with those things you mentioned. I did <check attached jar files>when I first started. I cant read that code now without wondering at my level of messiness. But those first months of banging my head against a wall and wondering at my level of dumbness had to be done first and CONSISTENTLY.

To nairaland/programming, I am a learner o. My making this contribution is simply to make known some knowledge I currently possess.
A few points:

1. Coding is not for everyone. Coding is also not one of those professions ignorant people can cast gender bias on without sounding somewhat vapid. There are programmers. Some happen to be female, and some happen to be male. The best coder I know personally is male, but boy, have I met female programmers?(yes).

2. This post is an unnecessary propagation of lazy writing. What was your sample size in arriving at the conclusion that females("aka otherworldly creatures" "dont want to code"? How many people generally, have the capacity to put in the amount of grit required to be a decent programmer? What research did you and your colleagues make? What kind of outfits have you and you and colleagues worked at? Good male and female coders abound, but expecting them to carry it on their head like" see me! see me! I have breasts and I can actually use my head!", is simply never gonna happen.People who mean business just do their thing without making too much fuss.

3. I personally cringe everytime someone meets me and goes" OH! MY! GOD! A woman who can click enter?! ". Its annoying when people fetishize things that are really not to be fetishized. Because of this reason, for a long time I've been using a male alias on NL. Nobody likes to be a clown.

4. If you think youre all for female empowerment or whatever, giving someone opportunity ONLY because they are female is the worst thing you can possibly do(because an unqualified person will end up where a qualified person should be and mess up, reinforcing the bias that girls are inefficient). You should always use the best person for the job you can afford. Always. If that person happens to be female, then so be it.

You cant change the command line default directory in windows.
You can however:
1. Everytime you open your terminal type in : cd C:/

or
2. Create a file "file_name.bat" and save it to your desktop.
- type this into the file : cd C:/
- save
- so whenever you want to go to your root directory you just double click the batch file to run it instead...hope this helps.

hey...Google 'mysql delete table'

gidimasters:
Hello, please can I pm you?

Sure why not.

Mintayo:
Misplaced priority. Wrong idea about relationships and marriage.
People like her won't be satisfied with anything as regards sex, hence they end up with intimacy gadgets etc!

So sex is not a very important part of a lifelong relationship?

jmoore:
You are addicted to cucumber that's why.

Next pls.....

Brother, girls enjoy sex too. Okay? All of these societal pressures to shame something that is so natural is unnecessary. She's saying the truth. Men who last for two minutes imply do not satisfy. But it can be worked on, as long as the man and woman are patient with each other. Which is why a prior emotional connection always makes sex better.

TroubleMaker47:
Na them

. Nigerian men are so funny. So because she has sex she is an ashawo? Pick a book bro. you need it.

nelsonchrisx:
wow... thanks bro, i guess me.toUpperCase === userGuess.toUpperCase converts the two strings to upper case value

Not explicitly. It checks whether the two values when converted to uppercase are equal. The actual values of both variables will remain unchanged....I be lady o lol.

as long as the two strings contain the same sequence of characters, checkEqual will be true.

var checkEqual = me.toUpperCase()===user.toUpperCase()

Its definitely happened. there's police vans and roadblocks everywhere.... Aljazeera just carried the news... the story is still forming so no details yet.

bounaries of society... sometimes i'm tempted to consider the fact that there are already too many uncared children in the world to be giving birth to any more..

our leader without a clue does it yet again! how many insurgents ACTUALLY use the net? wait, nobody knows! so this might go some way.. using a foreign company? no one knows how that will turn out either....
