How do you know that? I think this is coded into our genes and caused by our brain wiring and hormones. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I agree by the way. I never saw any females in a technical role beyond "senior engineer", as they usually seem to disappear into team lead / SM / PM / PO roles.
- commandlinefan 4y ago> this is coded into our genes and caused by our brain wiring If this were the case, you'd continue to see relatively few women in highly technical roles, despite a half-century of scorched-earth attempts to change that... which is what we do see. Is there an alternate explanation?
- _8j50 4y agoI know that because I do see women in certain EU countries (Poland or Romania for example) or from countries where coding and office work hasn't had a strong "only boys allowed" history (only russia and india come to mind, maybe china?) do as well as male counterparts and stay as long in technical aspects. This is from my limited experience in non-tech multinationals. I also see men who are as much social and organized as women and there are polar opposites like myself and the common denominator is how we view ourselves fitting into the world which is a product of environment, culture and upbringing.
