Even if we accept all of your assumptions, there is an alternative conclusion: that the problem is the CS culture, and the culture needs to change.

- sp332 16y agoSorry, it's a bit late here so I might not be thinking real clearly but, isn't that what I said?
- peteforde 16y agoNo! Your comment only implies that bringing more people will solve the problem. Sadly, that will just reinforce the current social proofs that loud assholes dominate CS.
- tbrownaw 16y ago"CS ... needs to attract more people." "Honestly, the atmosphere and culture of most CS departments just aren't appealing at all." I read this as saying that we need to fix the culture in order to attract more people.
- Stormbringer 16y agoThe subtle implication of what you said is that the problem is with the women rather than the culture.
