What is the difference between girls and boys in programming skills ?

Question

Girls vs boys

Answer 1

i estimate women make up about 30-40% of web developers / programmers and while that may seem like a big number i rarely see girls partake in longer programming and it can be a huge number of reasons but women can be discouraged out of doing programming by anyone really and sometimes lose interest. also it can just be that they don't see themselves as programmers, etc it can be for any reason honestly. i see a lot of girls on sololearn which is really good though! :) fullscale developers from which i see on sololearn are usually men though

Answer 2

men are usually more prominent in fields concerning technology imo

Answer 3

men and women do have different ways of thinking, though like 4rontender said so there is definite difference

Answer 4

definitely agree with aina. while men are more prominent in computer programming and coding, it does not place them above women who are also in computer programming just because of their gender. both are stylistically different but it does not pose them against each other. nothing separates them just based on gender and sex

Answer 5

none, really. both can be equal in programming, but i think you'd mostly see dudes being programmers, especially web developers :)

Answer 6

some women can be better coders in men and some men are better coders than women. i think it depends on how you look at it, but they do think differently :)

Answer 7

Wow, could you guys be more sexist?

Answer 8

Talking about the number, we have more men in programming. But in terms of the skills you can't really differentiate and conclude that men are better. We have aptitude for different things, and our skills and proficiency depends on our commitment to learning.

Answer 9

" Why especially Web Developers? "

Answer 10

you can't tell the difference in skill, but you can tell the difference in avg number; Males are more dominent

Answer 11

There is no difference. Sex/gender has nothing to do with intelligence, judging one's capability based on their sex/gender is an insult. Albeit in general (common cases) the difference between boys & girls would be:

Boys LIKE girls, and,
Girls LIKE boys

Answer 12

but What is the reason there are a few girls programmers?

Answer 13

There is some difference. Girls Have less analytical thinking, but it isn't bad. Simply we are different a little.
And else: exception proves the rule

Answer 14

Okey , What is the field :
Women are better than men?

Answer 15

girls are !!!! boys are!!!! rock

Answer 16

Skills aren't determined by what's between your legs.. Skills are determined by the amount of work you put into learning something. That's why I would say less than half this site is from the US, simply because we aren't raised here with that as a priority. And there are more males in this job field simply because we further our own stereotype. You know how many times I've called myself a dumb blonde? Girls are raised nowadays to care about makeup and hair and boys, not about tech.

Answer 17

try to ask 10-20 girls, and you'll see what the reason😀
