Re: Which jobs most often pair together among married couples
#272Ok, I can see the lopsided lawyers marrying lawyers, but how is it that software developers are so lopsidedly marrying other software developers when something like 90% of them are male? I guess pretty much every female software developer marries a male software developer which works out to the 12% number?

But this data is specifically "among married couples". The male software developer's chances of marrying a software developer are much, much higher if we just assume he's married in the first place.

#273I find it funny that for "Software quality assurance analysts and testers" by far most common partner is "Software developer". However "Software quality assurance analysts and tester" isn't even in the list for "Software developers"

*Clears threat*. Did anyone perhaps inquire about Bayesianism?
See, it can be explained by Bayes theorem. P(A | B) = P(B | A) * P(A) / P(B)
Look at all ordered pairs of people in a couple. Let A be the proposition that the first person is a Dev, and B be the proposition that that the second person is QA.
P(A | B) now expresses how common it is for QA people to have a Dev partner. And P(B | A) expresses how common it is for devs to have a QA partner.
What the theorem tells us that the difference is simply explained by P(A) / P(B), that is the relative commonness of the professions. Or to be precise the commonness of the professions in the subset of people who have a partner.

If you don't conflate gender with marriage, there's more opportunity for software developer couples.
is there? are the rates of queer people reddit in tech that much higher than other fields?

Kids need programming too.

And Morse code is quite efficient!

It may also be because only software developers call themselves that.
If you look up computer programmers or analysts suddenly it's not that lopsided (they are not even the first group).

Could be something to do with a tech-literate person is _more_ valuable to an arts person than to another tech person. E.g. arts person wants their small plumbing jobs done, their offspring taught math properly, and so on, but other tech person doesn't need that because they do those things themselves.
Interestingly that seems like a very "tech person" way to frame what relationships are about.
There's something to be said for finding someone that complements your strengths and weaknesses.

Feast your eyes on this! https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2016-who-marries-whom/
For example it says that while lesbian software developers often marry each other, gay male software developers often marry "recreation and fitness workers". Straight male software engineers often marry within the profession, but also marry nurses, teachers and accountants.
