Why is it important for more people to be software engineers compared to nurses? We need more nurses in the world, not more software engineers.


Precisely. We need more human care, for ourselves and others, not more software.


I didn't argue that more people should be software engineers than nurses. It's simply that engineering isn't considered to be the kind of career that women should pursue. Yet there are women here that are interested in it, but they get almost no support from this culture.


But nursing doesn’t scale! /s
