Are Men Better Programmers Than Women? by ayojademi(m): 8:58am On Apr 30, 2021
Seems Like An Advanced Form Of The Secondary School Debate: ‘Boys Vs Girls, Who Are Better Students?’
Factually, No. On the contrary, findings from a study of 1.4 million GitHub users reveal that women actually make better programmers than men and their code gets more accepted often. GitHub is an online community of more than 12 million active users who contribute to various projects by suggesting solutions to coding problems. Such solutions may either be accepted or..more..https://alabiansolutions.com/blog/are-men-better-programmers-than-women/

Nope men are not. It all boils down to the individual and not necessarily the gender. There are badass women programmers like seriously badass. The best ever computer science student from UI is a woman and she's at Stanford now. She eats the hardest algorithm questions for breakfast.

The first programmer was a woman (Ada). But generally I think men are better in it cuz most girls find it boring to code.

No. It's because coding is hard and most women don't want anything hard. I'm not gender shaming here.

Most women would even settle for front-end or UI/UX. You'd hardly see them doing Backend or Devops.

But then, there are women who know there onions doing the baddest things you can think of in programming.

I learnt Vuejs and Git from Gwen Faraday, you can check her out on YouTube. To me, she's the best Vuejs tutor out there. She's also very attractive. grin

There's also this lady that build games with Javascript to name a few.

What is the name of the girl shocked.
Co-incidentally I have just recently gained admission to study computer science at Ui.

Men are simply more interested in software engineering than women just like in every other engineering disciplines.

So if you evaluate fairly like what percentage of male developers are good vs what percentage of female developers are good, you'll find that women have higher numbers. I'm referring to developers not computer science students or graduates.

This is not necessarily because women are better but because any woman you find in that field really wanted to be there and would inevitably be good as opposed to some guys who enter for other reasons.

Also, women are generally more interested in people while men are generally more interested in things.
