Gender stratification refers to women's and men's unequal access to privilege, power, and money based only on their sex. The consequences of gender stratification are that women often earn less money than men for comparable jobs; they often enter the workforce at jobs that pay less and that are lower on the managerial ladder; and they are often denied access to jobs with supervisory, decision-making, and other power. As a result, women still find themselves faced with a "glass ceiling," meaning that they cannot advance in their careers or in management, even though they may have the same or better experience and educational level as men who advance. Part of the result of gender stratification is that men develop their own professional networks through which they can advance, while women are often denied access to these opportunities. On a personal level, gender stratification can result in women's feeling depressed, anxious, or bored because they are denied opportunities that are commensurate with their educational background and intellectual capabilities.
As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
