The author is right in that there is some evidence there are, on average, trait differences between biological sexes but it's dangerous to make the claim that some traits are better for certain types of work or that these differences can satisfactory explain a gender gap. Those conclusions aren't justified by his evidence. Engineering can absolutely benefit from 'people' minded individuals as much as 'thing' minded. It's just it usually takes a few tours of 'thing' focused jr. engineering before you can get into the 'people' related challenges seen when doing large scale software engineering. If you follow contemporary conservatives like Jordan Peterson you can find a lot of the same themes of social construction vs biology or 'institutional liberalism' he finds in academia.
