    They obviously meant in the post that she can program in MIPS assembly. And they shortened it to just MIPS. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “Java” mentioned was actually Javascript.

      There’s a very high likelihood that the “Java” referenced is actually Java, since the college that they went to teaches Java as a part of the standard curriculum (or at least they did via UMass Amherst cross-courses a few years ago). With that being said, I agree that it’s likely MIPS assembly being referenced because that’s what most people mean when they say they can program for MIPS.
