Dating apps enormously improve discoverability - find like-minded people in roughly the same area, but whom you'd never meet. It's not like the day before dating apps you had this rich network and you lost it. It's a net plus. You can still do IRL, in fact you might have better chances at it, because it is a rarer skill.

Agree with discoverability. I met some fellow programmers :)

In my area (suburbs) the only women's profiles I saw in Hinge that were programmers were in Standouts - which basically means they are unmatchable. You can try, but you will fail.

Were they girls though? :P

Yep ;-)
