My (maybe controversial) theory is that software engineering is a deeply creative and self-expressive field, more closely related to art and literature than to the “hard” sciences. But it has the clear upside that it isn’t stigmatized like Art & Literature, so getting into it isn’t met with the same amount of scrutiny & criticism, especially for people who present in a masculine way.
