do women compute?
Do Women Compute? - Scoble thinks that men are risk-takers and women are nurturers. Dave agrees that the lack of women in computing is a “problem”, and suggests in true Lancelot style that perhaps the solution is for a man to write some software for women. I like this. For once, two of the most important people in my blog universe are stereotyping something other than the company I work for. I wouldn’t want to presume, but what the heck — I bet Dave and Robert both would learn a bit more about the things women find annoying about this industry by reading a few books that I can personally recommend:
These books are the flip-side to comments made by people like Dave and Robert. They offer women’s stereotypes of how men behave; and like many generalizations, often reveal a kernel of truth.
