I've worked primarily as a frontend developer in the UK and the Netherlands for 12 years now and my experience has been exactly the opposite.

Although men still outweigh women I wouldn't think it unusual to see a female Java developer (I've mostly worked in java shops)

However I can only recall ever even interviewing one female front-end developer. From my experience they are incredibly rare.

Maybe my experience isn't typical or maybe it's geographical. Or is the article too subjective?
