Heck, I never made it past college on the comp sci path, but even as a white dude from a middle-class background I met some resistance. I was just some dumb ol’ kid from the sticks. Nevermind that none of the frat boy dudebros could write portable C or C++, I was the idiot.
Well, last laugh was on me because I sucked at math, and circumstances stood in the way of tutor sessions. So that’s why I still live in the sticks.
