And I also don't agree with his take. Skilled tech women are rare, like maybe 100:1 compared to guys. But they aren't unicorns. I have met some rather high level female coders and POs

Allthough, I am not sure, they enjoy tech like guys, you know ? Just because they are really smart and understand the stuff, doesn't mean they love it. Its a job after all.

Yeah I know and have trained several great female coders. They aren't really rare. They just typically don't code in their free time. But you can generally count on them to deliver shit on time. They do fine in the field.

I think women in general (for a better society) should choose to stay home more and make kids but I don't think that should be forced or their resumes thrown away for it.

If anything we should just offer money for stay at home moms as a subsidy. That would help the family unit be stronger.

  I know a few female coders and POs who changed to part time remote, so they could have a baby, while still making decent money. Its impossible for 99.99% of women, because coding is tough.
  
  For most office work nowadays you can do remote, so it works ok for women, in HR, Marketing etc.
  
  Outside the office, I think working at local schools, hospitals, stores etc is the most realistic job for women. My mom and my gf's mom are school teachers who work less than 100m from their schools.
  
  Can't commute far for work when you have a baby
