Curious on thoughts of individuals

Are there actual differences between males and females?

How much should companies push for diversity (sexual, racial, etc)?

For something like coding does race/sex matter at all shouldn't you just higher the best coders period?[/quote]

i have been doing software development in this area for over 30 years, assembler to fortran to C to java to ruby/rails.

I can count on one hand the number of great woman software developers I have worked with over the years.

I don't know why, but there are very few woman that do coding, and those that did usually had short, 35 hour weeks.  very few were the lead developers building a product on the usual crazy development schedule.

I do think it is more to do with intelligence, in that women are smarter!

They see the shit job coding has become, and especially how bad it has become over the last 10 years and moved into careers that had more stability and more career growth and less H1Bs.

I know my daughter is a better programmer than my son, so I really doubt it is because of ability to code, but she said there was no way she was going to be a programmer.  Somehow the american kids going into college, have learned how bad a career it is from high school, newspapers and friends.  She is focusing on neurology.  [/quote]
