Software Developers Social Status

Cableguy · Nov 16, 2017

Hi guys and gals...

Whenever the job title "Software Engineer" or "Software Developer" comes into a conversation, most trend to picture a no-social-skills-geek kind of person...

So let's hear from you guys...

I'll start.

Male, 44 YO, Hobbyist, Divorced, in a stable relationship

Female, 48 yo, pro, divorced, in a somehow stable relationship.
Somehow because the man I love is working at about 1000 km so we meet on holidays or weekends

Male, 35yo, hobbyist, in a stable relationship.
Luckely I only sleep 4-5 hours and my girlfriends needs her 8 hours, so I do most of my work at night when it's all quiet in house

I think you can clearly say that programming belongs to the male sex

(Until this post)
14 male
1 female

Back in the '80s when I had my electronic engineering classes we were about 400 students (first year, then a lot less..) of which only 10 were women.
About 20 years later ladies' number increased a lot and, if I can say it, many were really pretty girls.
Nowadays I often meet very competent tech women but it is still true that men are a strong majority.

In the company where I work the 2 programmers with the highest seniority are actually females.

there is no doubt that females can do the job it just looks like females prefer other professions then programming.
