Do women have a brain to program?
-
It seems still to be the case that girls are socialised to, as a rule, not pursue careers in areas like coding. I've never worked with a female coder, although I keep hoping this place employs one ( because I want to see what all the terminally single guys here do as a result ). I know a lot of guys who are just too plain stupid to ever be able to use a computer, let alone code. All generalisations fall apart at some point, and I don't see any reason why coding ability would be defined along lines of gender. Too bad I missed the thread that started this, it sounds like it would have been fun.

Exactly. :) What is the male version of nymphomaniac? Could it be there is no male version, because we're in that "state" by default? :~ -- In the land of the blind, be king! Some day, Dominion, some say prayers, now I say mine.

Question would be: Do women have a brain? Answer: Generally, no. It means, there are exceptions. For exceptions there is sense to ask: Do women have a brain to program? Answer is, of course: No.
Would you care to elaborate? I hope this post doesn't mean what I believe it does. Hint: I'm giving you a chance to extricate yourself before you get jumped on. Hard.

I think it is not about women have a brain to program or not. It is the question of whether women want to do it or not. I know most of my female friends or colleagues do not like to do programming. I think no one in the world born to be incapable in something unless for those who are misfortunate. Or else, everyone has equal chances of being someone great. Just that how much efforts (hard works) have been contributed that make the difference. A genious is great not because he/she is smart but he/she is hardworking.

Christian Graus wrote: because I want to see what all the terminally single guys here do as a result ). It's something best not experienced. I've worked with a few women coders, of varying degrees of skill and attraction. There is a small group of ubergeeks who flock to them regardless. And the utter lack of social skill shines through clearly. Currently, an attractive part-time student joined our ranks, and only works two days a week. This one fellow is constantly near her cube on those days (generally he's not be seen), the other turns into johnny-joke-a-minute trying to gain her favor. The contest goes on online too via blogs. It's sad. ** by the way, none of this judging indicates an overabundance of cool or confidence on my part, it's just depressing to see a guy fall apart so quickly ** BW "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." - Bertrand Russell

Not in response to the article, but yes, I know that women have the brain to program. I have known several female software engineers in my short time in the industry who are eminently more qualified than I am. To say that a particular gender is incapable of programming is just plain dumb.

You've hit the nail on the head there. I can't convince my wife she is as smart as I am, the only reason I can code is that I *want* to. She hates it.

When he contacts me and we organise something I will let you know with as much advance warning as possible.

No, I tried to re-program several girls to my likening, but it never worked out as intended. oh.... you meant... ups. Flame me but: In general, no. The "typical", "average" female seems to be less capable of programming than the "typical", "average" male. I can go on reasoning forever, but the point is: most coders are male. I think it would be reverse for training AI's: The male analysing, separating, micro-commanding approach wouldn't work well here. Once AI research gets beyond the turing threshold, I see a bright future for women ;)

Right. Consider this. I'm a senior software developer, designer and systems architect within my company. In my previous company (I left for financial reasons in 1998) I was a team leader, dealt extensively with customers (both civil and military) and represented my team in technical meetings up to Board level. I've had to do selling price estimates for multi-million pount contracts, tell directors within the company not to be so bloody stupid and generally stick my neck out to make sure the company adopted a technical solution which worked and gave us a competitive edge. Still think I could do all that without a brain? I may not be aggressive and competitive in the male sense, but I'm proud of the work I've done and am not afraid to tell my own company when something is substandard. Oh yeah - I'm also a trained swordswoman so I suggest you shut your trap now.
