Seriously. I regret that I only have one upvote to give. Things that we here take for granted are nigh impossible, or look like magic to 90% of the population. Even among the subset of people that are employed as software engineers, it can be sobering to realize how many of them struggle and flail at "just wiring form fields to databases in new and exciting ways."
It’s not that this stuff isn’t challenging. It’s that it’s not particularly more challenging than abstract statistics or organic chemistry or tax accounting, fields where you see lots of women.
Yeah, I'm not sure why we have to take the approach of crapping on one or the other. I happen to think things like construction are probably pretty complicated too.
