I don't understand where gender, age, and ethnicity come into play in this.

- hermitcrab 2y agoNot trying to make a poltical point. Pick an interest that young white men have. You'll probably find loads of software that caters to it. Pick an interest that an equal number of retired women have. You will almost certainly find a lot less software that caters to it. It is simply because people write software for markets they understand. Most programmers (in my experience) are young white men. A lot less retired women have the skills or motivation to write software.
- otterley 2y agoSounds like an underserved market waiting to be tapped. How do we address it?
- hermitcrab 2y agoTalk to your older relatives and female friends.
- nikau 2y agoThe market isn't there since the petticoat 5 covered all bases
- hermitcrab 2y agoLOL. I hadn't seen that before. https://www.reddit.com/r/vintagecomputing/comments/8nzz23/petticoat_5_computer_for_women/ https://www.reddit.com/r/vintagecomputing/comments/8nzz23/pe...
- crackez 2y agoIt sounds like the view of some person with zero experience in the real world of professional software engineering. My experience is the opposite. The USA has a very diverse software workforce.
