      Right to both. "are you really saying men and women aren't different" is so facile it hurts. But it does provide a sense of superiority.

      Lemme ask you this. All things equal, as in all social pressures aside, would developers be 50/50 men and women? Serious question

      I have no idea what the answer to this question, but we're so far away from this hypothetical that it serves little purpose.

      I have, in my personal career, repeatedly seen pressures and discriminatory effects push women away from programming.

      I've also seen women pushed away from Director+ "operations" roles, where even "biological diff" people will admit they excel.

      For an allegedly evidence-focused group, where's the peer reviewed science that female brains are less good at programming?

      And as others have said, there are a lot of skills that go into programming. A lack of diversity leads to skill imbalanced teams.

      And finally, if you believe there is any sense in which women are underrepresented in tech, it makes BUSINESS sense for a company to fix.

      Because it means that there are cases where men (and other overrepresented groups) are getting hired over more qualified women.
