Which is exactly what I said... These women can say why they do code. They have no good reason or explanation on why women wouldn’t code. If they had one they’d have another job.

Yes agreed, they are the perfect people to ask why they do — but bad people to ask why others don’t. I’m just saying that imho to get more people you need to ask a lot of the people who don’t why not and not just the people that do why they do.

That’s literally what I said. That they’re good to explain why they code, not so much to explain why other women don’t. So the article is great to justify the passion for coding you already have.

I’d rather see some explanations from women who chose not to code. That helps with understanding where the blockage is.

Something must have been lost in translation...
