Actually, I work with 4 women on a regular basis who do extremely good systems and software stuff. Very easy to communicate with, know there shit, and have NO agenda. All under age 35 -40 I'd venture. Now, the 25-35 year old men...PAIN IN THE ASS. Reinvent the wheel because it's not their wheel, etc, etc. They'd rather do that than learn how to turn the existing one - costing time, money, and blowing schedules all while they think their shit doesn't stink.Holy shit... Most savage comment I heard today:
"They weren't crew. They were cargo. In a craft designed, built, and remotely controlled by men. It's onboard systems running on code also written by men. And on top of all of this, it could have all been a hoax"...
My team would have all these 4 women and almost none of the men - I'm actually trying to recruit one to be on my current work. Things have totally flip-flopped from how it worked 15-20 years ago.
What this was is an abomination to engineering staff. Pathetic. Shattner, was way cooler because I truly think he deserved to go on a little tourism flight - As one of the last remaining stars from Star Trek, a show which HUGELY influenced the need STEM education he is actually has a legit place in history.
