>I'm less happy about excluding people who are coming into computing late, though.
I don't think she's doing that. Note that she doesn't say that you haven to have been programming since age 2, just that you have to have a natural interest in "solving the puzzle or building something." I came late to programming since I didn't have access to computers I could tinker with, but I was still putzing around with k'nex and getting yelled at for taking household appliances apart from a very young age.
I think it's also important that she points to reasons why women stopped coming to CS early (the Barbie-beauty culture) and mentions the often forgotten "old enough to remember when they worked on teams that were about one third women". I don't think she wants to say that you have to be a bad developer because you start late, but rather that we won't get back to a decent percentage of female developers without a shift in how we treat young girls.
