Lindsey Scott: Victoria’s Secret model who shatters stereotypes
Lindsey Scott, the 23-year-old African-American is a Victoria’s Secret and Calvin Klein model and a brilliant software engineer. Writes code in Python, C++, and Java.
Do you also think that beautiful models do not differ in intelligence and ingenuity? There is a persistent stereotype that no special intelligence is required for a catwalk show. But smart and beautiful Lindsey Scott is ready to destroy this delusion to the nines.
Successful model Lindsey Scott once again reminded Instagram users that she can not only defile on the catwalk but also develop applications for iOS with her own hands. She had to intervene in the discussion of her own skills in order to stop the idle inventions of users.
The discussion began with a photo of Lindsey Scott posted on the Coding Engineer Instagram page, which collects jokes, quotes, and other funny content about everything IT-related.
The caption under the picture said that Victoria’s Secret model is proficient in writing applications in many programming languages, and her skills include Python, C ++, Java, MIPS, and Objective-C.
Many users expressed doubt that a beautiful girl can program. It is believed that models tend to invent different facts of the biography. So subscribers suggested that the girl knows how to modify the welcome phrases of office applications and somewhat exaggerates her abilities.
It is not known how many more suggestions would have been made by the subscribers of the humorous page if the person in question had not intervened. Lindsey Scott recalled that she studied theater in parallel with the computer science course at Amherst College, Massachusetts.
Currently, the girl does a lot of programming for the Ralldound company, where she works as a lead developer. She is also a member of the iSO team that provides technical support for the RayWenderlich.com online resource. In addition, Lindsey Scott is a top user of the Stack Overflow website, which is dedicated to the topic of programming.
Responding to user comments, she wrote that the answer to the question of why 41% of female programmers leave work because of the hostile attitude of colleagues is becoming obvious. It turns out that the problem has gone far beyond IT companies.
Lindsey Scott also devoted separate post to the discussion. She had to discover many biography facts that she had not previously intended to write about. A successful model and a competent programmer rolled into one tried to convince skeptics that a good IT person can be of any gender, race, size or shape.
As it turns out, Lindsey Scott is a big fan of Python. The girl noted that she likes the intuitive accessibility of this language. She would definitely create a similar programming language if the need arose.
