We ran the numbers, and there really is a pipeline problem in engineering hiring
Honestly for young children I wouldn&#x27;t want any of the girls to become software engineers. Most Software Engineers including myself are friendly but also grumpy, nerdy and annoying, with poor communication skills and an unhealthy lifestyle. For some reason for men its OK because all they do is work, but for women I&#x27;d rather my daughters have more human contact and nicer environment - esp one without developers in it. Yeah its sexist when I write it down but that&#x27;s how I&#x27;m sure a lot of parents feel, which is one reason why there aren&#x27;t so many women at the entry to the pipeline.
