Who is the author arguing against here? Did I miss it when someone said "Chicks writing programs? Psh, that'll go the way of pogs and pokemon in no time at all!"
I don't see women in programming jobs as a fad, I just don't see them. I've worked at dozens of companies in over the last 15 years and I've worked with exactly 4 women... none in the last 2 years. I don't know why that is.
The page I end up on has the title "5 Organizations Helping Women Get Ahead in Tech" and isn't really arguing against anyone what I can see. Are we reading the same article?
