7 not 8: The economic advantage of women, interning at startups, the infamous "confidence gap," and female programmers ending World War II


Listen Later

This episode covers so much valuable information. Before I delve into what that is, here's a short quality disclaimer. Hi! I'm Amina and I was new to podcasting so the quality on my side and my guests' side is not as good as it's been in recent episodes. I reinvited the CodingSisters for episode 32, in case you're interested in a higher audio quality discussion, albeit of different, somewhat related subjects: optimism, pessimism and rejection. This episode is still worth listening to in my opinion because the information and the sisters are incredible.
The CodingSisters and I discuss the Atlantic's "The Confidence Gap," which explores the apparent basis for female under-confidence and male confidence/overconfidence from biological and social perspectives, which sex may be more innovative, cognitive dissonance in tech, how exactly sports could prevent women from leaving STEM, Hidden Figures, Selma, why World War II ended when it ended, and more.
