I am not a female, but I am a bootcamp grad with no college degree working as a sw engineer. At almost every place I've worked at so far I've had co-workers go through my GitHub and then make comments about how I shouldn't be working there.
I have no idea why people are doing this to Dr. Bouman, if it's gender related or not. Just stating my experiences.
Just so I'm fair, my GitHub does suck.
