摘要

摘要:在过去的十年里,编码一直被定位为解决美国科技行业几个关键问题的灵丹妙药。为应对当代对编码的痴迷而兴起的编码训练营可能看起来很有创新性,但它们与20世纪60年代和70年代“软件危机”期间激增的电子数据编程(EDP)学校有着惊人的相似之处。通过将当前的编码热潮和编码训练营与软件危机和EDP学校进行比较,本文不仅提请人们注意这两个时期和制度形式之间的显著相似性,而且还确定了EDP学校的具体素质和有问题的做法,这些学校有可能在编码训练营中重演。然后,它总结了一些关于为什么某些“被遗忘”的计算历史现在比以往任何时候都更重要的思考。

Everything Old Is New Again: A Comparison of Midcentury American EDP Schools and Contemporary Coding Bootcamps
abstract:Over the course of the past decade, coding has been positioned as a silver-bullet solution for several key issues in the US tech industry. The coding bootcamps that have sprung up in response to the contemporary coding obsession may appear innovative, but they bear a remarkable resemblance to the electronic data programming (EDP) schools that proliferated during the "software crisis" of the 1960s and 1970s. By comparing the current coding craze and coding bootcamps to the software crisis and EDP schools, this article not only draws attention to the remarkable similarities between the two periods and institutional forms but also identifies specific qualities and problematic practices of EDP schools that threaten to repeat themselves with coding bootcamps. It then concludes with some reflections about why certain "forgotten" histories of computing are more relevant now than ever.
