The Iron Yard, a South Carolina-based coding school with 15 locations, announced that it plans to close all of its campuses. The four-old company posted a message (http://blog.theironyard.com/2017/07/20/message-iron-yard/) on its website delivering the news: "In considering the current environment, the board of The Iron Yard has made the difficult decision to cease operations at all campuses after teaching out remaining summer cohorts." The note said the company will finish out its summer classes, including career support.
[One school with fifteen locations closing — is this an isolated problem, or just one instance of a more widespread problem? What other schools have recently closed, or are in the act of closing, in your area? --martyb]

Ah, found the misogynerd. A feminist informed me to my face, one-on-one, that the only reason that there aren't more womyn-born-womyn programmers is because assigned males make it overly technical. Assigned males regularly demonstrate their incompetence at software design by producing code with horrendous design flaws that make it unusable by any womyn-born-womyn, even after getting a 4 year degree. The 4 year degree itself is proof that assigned males are conspiring to keep womyn-born-womyn out of coding careers.
See, programming is like growing a baby. Womyn-born-womyn can grow babies in their bodies, but assigned males cannot. Therefore, womyn-born-womyn are naturally talented programmers without needing to pass any “training. Further proof of that is the fact that the first programmer was a womyn-born-womyn. That proves that all womyn-born-womyn who have ever been born since have inherited her knowledge of programming. (I did not ask how, but I assume it was either through the hive mind or else perhaps the skyclad rituals to Diane feminists engage in such as at the defunct Michigan Womyn's Music Festival.) The only reason womyn-born-womyn are not programmers and men are is because the patriarchy wants to keep women in the kitchen.
Software programmed by assigned males is full of bugs because assigned males are unable to grow a child in their bodies. Q.E.D.
As you can see, a 12 week course, in the view of feminists, is still 12 weeks too long. I have been informed by feminists that if assigned males weren't so intimidated by how much software quality would improve with womyn-born-womyn programming, all that would be necessary would be for assigned males to simply stop keeping the access codes to put a computer in programming mode secret from womyn-born-womyn.
Absolutely serious here folks. I'll get modded down. But it's time for our feminists here to own up to the completely warped and bigoted perspectives present in feminism.
There is no way in hell I'm believing this is some small minority of feminists nobody pays attention to.

By that reasoning, a programming course should take 15 minutes or nine months because, depending how you measure, that's how long it takes to make a baby?
