&gt; men do hobby programming and women don&#x27;t.<p>This is also something I have observed in my job. I am in a typical enterprise software shop and I feel like women are more likely to see programming as &quot;just a job&quot;, while men are more likely to put more passion into it. But most people in general see it as &quot;just a job&quot;, so maybe hobbyist female programmers are just rare because female programmers in general are rare.<p>Who knows.
