Sep 2014

I work with over seventy other developers, and other than the Indian (from India) ones, not a one is in a relationship much less has kids. I just checked our HR system, and our average age is nearly 43 years-old. Our CEO paid for three months of match.com for the white developers and hired a couple of coaches to help, but not a one of us even got a date from it. I didn't even get a single reply from the nearly three hundred messages I sent despite taking notes in from the coaches and spending a couple of hundred hours writing. I know this isn't universally true, but from what I've seen college educated men are not having children.
