It seems a lot of women have taken up 'coding' not out of interest in complex systems or solving difficult problems, the reasons that have attracted traditional 'nerds' to programming, but because 'coding' and general technology related stuff have become fashionable for women to do.
- praveenperera 11y agoGood, I think one of the main reasons there aren't more women in this field is because it's been unfashionable. So if it suddenly becomes "ok" or fashionable then the women who are actually interested in programming and solving complex problems will be more likely to actually pursue it.
- diskcat 11y agoPeople have been doing programming even though it's unfashionable forever for their interest in the activity itself. So if these people would do it either way, what's the delta of people that you will attract when it becomes fashionable?
