Ask what they mean. Write your own programs in your free time. Stop being a victim.
To complain is like whining that "blacks discriminate against the Klan, so blacks should change their attitudes."
Look, I'm not claiming to be a victim. Yes, I couldn't hack it, and I fully admit that. I'm just recounting my experiences as a comp sci major. Yes, it was intimidating. Also keep in mind that I was a first semester freshman with one of the hardest professors in the department in a class that was 95% upperclassmen and grad students. I am not looking to explain away my reaction to the class because I think that most people in my situation would have been intimidated as well. And for the record, I did write a few programs outside of class requirements, but programming was not my life, and there were a good number of other things that I wanted to devote time to. You try getting interviewed and see how badly the things you say get taken out of context.
