This is not (in Israel) for lack of encouragement. I mentor a robotics team in a girls school, and we have great difficulty finding girls who will (a) join the team, and (b) do some work. The team in the boy's school, OTOH, has to turn away participants.
(They are also much more successful than the girls' team  )
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

When I was in college half of the class were girls, but slowly dropped out for different reasons, even some of them were very good at it...

When I was at Uni, out of a year holding 100+ Computer Science students, three were female ... and all three got First Class degrees in the end.

Is that really a question? In the old days they needed a small army of people around every computer who first wired up the programs, later punched cards or 'wove' those ferrite core 'ROMs' mentioned in the article and finally got around to the luxury of actually typing source code. Many women started as code monkeys, found that thy liked the job and went on to less basic jobs. And today? The armies of 'typists' are gone and recruiters look for nerds who have written their first code before they could walk and can recite the current buzzwords in an interview. How many girlie nerds do you know?

Not many - but I think that's more a cultural thing than innate: the "conditioning" young girls get from an early age still encourages an interest in hair / makeup / horses / anything pink1 rather than anything technical. And frankly, the boys we seem to be getting coming into the industry are complete morons / lazy b*st*rds2 if QA is anything to go by.

I really do not envy 'you can do everything Barbie' for having to meet all those new expectations on top of some nice old ones. Still, I think they mostly do the conditioning themselves. They use these things to work out their pecking order even before they get into highschool.

Why do I have the feeling that if you printed out the source for just the stupid calculator in Windows 10, the stack of paper would go higher?

It probably would, and the NASA pile is in assembler!

Lack of male ego.
Building software is like developing real estate from a empty field of weeds. We like to say "I'm a developer" and "See I made that".
Without that drive well as annoying as it can be, at least permits the propitiation of the species.

Makes me feel really happy and proud being a MVP of codeproject. This community has given me immense knowledge, competitiveness and confidence.
Just wanted to thanks everyone who over the years have mentored me.

I loved that it is not about an other fancy platform to share your life all over the net, but something that looks really useful, especially on remote locations with lower infrastructure...
Well done!

Really great and congratulations. I like to see devs using their knowledge to create new angles on technology and interesting new products.
BTW
The article has a sentence that says:
LinkedIn article says: The hardware device is a mobile portable ECG device which is indegeniously* developed by them allows automatic scanning and diagnosis of
Probably supposed to be ingeniously*, right? Just letting you know.
Keep on doing great innovative things.

Or maybe "indigenously"t.

We actually wanted to say "developed in India without Shenzen Support" 
But ingeniously sounds cooler. Thanks.
