TRUE FACT: WHY ARE THERE LESS FEMALE PROGRAMMER

I will like to pose a question, why are there less female programmers today? Given the fact that the first programmer was a woman (Ada Lovelace), there is still no woman/lady who is willing to face the challenge and write codes. Please this is to encourage our girls and not to insult them, that they should learn to write codes so that they can contribute more to the society as it is developing so fast. Like me, I would like to marry a wife who can write codes and contribute to my business. Have a wonderful week.

SCIENCE DAILY: ROOFTOP SOLAR ENERGY

Within the 128 cities studied, the researchers found that 83 percent of small buildings have a suitable location for PV installation, but only 26 percent of those buildings' total rooftop area is suitable for development. Because of the sheer number of this class of building across the country, however, small buildings actually provide the greatest combined technical potential.
