Barbie Computer Engineer

  • If I ever get a female child that is smitten by the scourge called Barbie (oh please, O [Insert Deity Here], make her a Lego child), I'll at least give her one like these so she can have an Engineer Barbie (oh, the bragging potential, "My Mum is a computer engineer just like Barbie!"). Not that my grandmother's misguided attempts at girlifying me with Pink Mermaid Barbie ever worked, anyway.

  • Wow. It's amazing, she looks just like every women engineer I've ever worked with. Especially the Bluetooth headset.

    Seriously, does this do anything to advance the position of women in software engineering?

  • The bytes on the screen spell out: "BarbieBarbieBarbie" :-)

  • Being a computer engineer is a choking hazard?

  • Was this not the product of some sort of poll where people voted for the next barbie? I remember seeing it on HN.

  • I must be hallucinating, an article about barbies as the top submission on HN.

  • Very interesting, although I'm not sure what to make of her glasses; are they, like, so geek-chic-coolacious?

  • Only ships to US. Damn I hate that ... anyone willing to receive and forward some barbies?

  • And Ken is renamed Paul?

  • What does "computer engineer" even mean?
