Not too late to switch to a very similar yet well-improved open-source language that was created and is being actively maintained by same company:

If you are woman and want kids, biologically speaking, your twenties are the best time to make that happen.
He talks about "These days, kids tend to happen in your thirties." That tends to work fine if you are male. If you are female, it gets vastly more complicated to put off kids until after age thirty. I have to wonder how old his wife was when they started having kids. Most hetero relationships tend to be older man, younger woman. Men can easily put off becoming a parent until their thirties, in part by marrying a younger woman. That works less well if you are female.
It's actually sadly even worse for women for another reason - they cannot date "down" for natural psychological reasons and the pool of "marriageable" men is shrinking due to less men getting education (which is perceived as "high-status" regardless of income, unless the latter is unusually high):

Makes sense. Once I am fully on-board I want the best experience and thus a native app.

It's an obvious desperate attempt to get attention by making a hyperbolic statement. It's sad to see that it is working.

However you participate in Open Source, don't handle your community like they do:
I am afraid that this is a wrong recommendation - too narrow, too esoteric, too academic.
I would suggest to read Norvig's old Common Lisp code from his Paradigms Of Artificial Intelligence Programming masterpiece (and the whole book, of course).
AIMA and SICP are obviously good reads - the code is polished like fine poems.
Norvig's new Python courses on Udacity are also absolutely wonderful, but the classic books are still the classic books.
And then arc.arc, of course!)
> I am afraid that this is a wrong recommendation - too narrow, too esoteric, too academic ... I would suggest to read ... Common Lisp code
That is sure mainstream.

Women do face actual challenges different from men in trying to figure out how to balance work and personal life and so on, but ...it's complicated and ....I have something else I really need to work on right now.
Ciao.
> Most women still want men who are their equal or superior in terms of career success and income, as the article makes clear.
