In the old days they needed a small army of people around every computer who first wired up the programs, later punched cards or 'wove' those ferrite core 'ROMs' mentioned in the article and finally got around to the luxury of actually typing source code. Many women started as code monkeys, found that thy liked the job and went on to less basic jobs. And today? The armies of 'typists' are gone and recruiters look for nerds who have written their first code before they could walk and can recite the current buzzwords in an interview. How many girlie nerds do you know?

Not many - but I think that's more a cultural thing than innate: the "conditioning" young girls get from an early age still encourages an interest in hair / makeup / horses / anything pink1 rather than anything technical. And frankly, the boys we seem to be getting coming into the industry are complete morons / lazy b*st*rds2 if QA is anything to go by.

I really do not envy 'you can do everything Barbie' for having to meet all those new expectations on top of some nice old ones. Still, I think they mostly do the conditioning themselves. They use these things to work out their pecking order even before they get into highschool.

Why do I have the feeling that if you printed out the source for just the stupid calculator in Windows 10, the stack of paper would go higher?

It probably would, and the NASA pile is in assembler!

Lack of male ego.
Building software is like developing real estate from a empty field of weeds. We like to say "I'm a developer" and "See I made that".
Without that drive well as annoying as it can be, at least permits the propitiation of the species.

Makes me feel really happy and proud being a MVP of codeproject. This community has given me immense knowledge, competitiveness and confidence.
Just wanted to thanks everyone who over the years have mentored me.

I loved that it is not about an other fancy platform to share your life all over the net, but something that looks really useful, especially on remote locations with lower infrastructure...
Well done!

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Really great and congratulations. I like to see devs using their knowledge to create new angles on technology and interesting new products.
BTW
The article has a sentence that says:
LinkedIn article says: The hardware device is a mobile portable ECG device which is indegeniously* developed by them allows automatic scanning and diagnosis of
Probably supposed to be ingeniously*, right? Just letting you know.
Keep on doing great innovative things.

Or maybe "indigenously"t.

We actually wanted to say "developed in India without Shenzen Support"
But ingeniously sounds cooler. Thanks.

Congratulations on your contribution to the future health of "the rest of the world," and your receiving the recognition you deserve !

Thank you Bill. Trying my best to overcome one of the biggest problems in India. 700 million people without basic health amenities and outside the scope of insurance offering. Geographically and economically it is challenging, but we strongly believe that now is the time to give it a go. Some people (even if in small number) have started recognizing that there is a space beyond recommendation systems and B2B aggregators.
The team is putting a lot of hardwork, and is self funded. Your kind words surely gives a lot of encouragement and motivation.

Well actually, oh no. I wanted to love it, I really did. Sadly, it was better than Prometheus, just. The plot twist was obvious and the whole thing left me feeling meh. I am just glad Jen and I didn't pay good money to see it.
