The Real Reason Girls Don't Like to Code

"The demand is high and growing rapidly" - where is this lie coming from? Salaries are not growing, unlike e.g. property prices.

Well, the "demand is high" part is true compared to any other professions, no?

There is a weird difference in the mindset:

"We want to hire a professional for $50k but we cannot, there is probably not enough of them for everyone, let's complain and wait."

vs

"I want to buy a good townhouse in a good neighborhood for $100k but I cannot, I guess I need to save more money or consider something of less quality."

If something is not available for the price you are suggesting, it doesn't mean it's not available at all (e.g. due to demand). Simply accept the reality and the market price.

I thought it was that sexist shirt from the comet landing mission that put them all off.

i don't know what a STEM is, and i don't care enough to find out. so i stopped reading.

It is quite literally the first Google result when searching "STEM". Probably would have taken less time to find out what it meant than to proclaim you didn't care enough to find out.

Science, Technology, Engineering, Math.

And the world must know about you not caring.
