Comment on As a skateboarder my self I can tell you, no biological woman can possibly compete with a biological man.

an unconscious reason I started skating, it's just guys out there and the women aren't even comparable with skill levels

I see a lot more grils out there today though but it's still like no women have done any 900s

I really liked the "open world" kind of format of non-contest oriented skating (putting out skate clips and parts). It's like, you film a trick and either you did it or not. Can't really cheat. Doesn't matter if you're on drugs or not, not sure if steroids or anything would help you perform better. I played some sports where people cheated, and you were at the mercy of the calls of like umpires or authorities. Can't really get that in skating (unless you're in like the XGames or Street League).

Same with programming, like does your code work or not? I don't need a drug test of your open source contribution, kek.

edit: and we don’t see the same amount of female programmers either.

The volume of men coders is huge. And indeed the best and most legendary programmers are often males. I think part of this is men are just more interested for what ever reason. However; I do come across extremely good female programmers. Some of the best programming books are written by females. They do very good at stuff like proofs and fundamental concepts. In large software projects a big problem is just keeping the team together and workings smoothly. Women are not as territorial or as confrontational so can sometimes really help out keeping work going.

I often have problems just agreeing with other developers. Some people are very strict on syntax, line length, and others are more focused on getting things done timely and in a fun way. So head buts occur and it just slows everything down.
