Programming is a low status job. You might make 7 figures as an engineer but you’re gonna be dateless because programming is still associated with low status.

Status is very important for most women.

The bullshit titles that so often make us roll our eyes come in handy here.

You write REST APIs thirty-five hours a week? "Communications Designer". You oversee two juniors? "Team Lead". You tweak microcode? "R&D Specialist". And so on.
