Thanks for the article. Ties in with this post that came across facebook a few weeks back - https://www.facebook.com/women.acm.org/posts/10153852916292252 . That links to an audio interview, here - https://www.acast.com/nprplanetmoneypodcast/-576-when-women-stopped-coding.
If you take the time to understand the graph, the red line in the facebook post is a striking illustration of the impact that gaming has on technical skills development. Apparently, gaming is a big part of both cause and cure for the gender gap in technology employment.
Thanks for the extra info and the support! That certainly is interesting.
