Software MatesThe software engineering field is staffed primarily by men;
the ratio of male to female software engineers is on the order
of 15 to 1. This makes it pretty easy for women to find potential
mates among their peers...but software types have a well-earned
reputation for being a little strange.While discussing the prospect of working in the software industry,
one woman commented to another: "The odds are good, but the goods are
odd."
