(Hi. Woman here.) Well, yes. Like anything, if it was a known, lifelong passion, then I’d/women would already be doing it. However, programming is something that sounds interesting, could be fun and I bet I’d be good at it but having been in tech for a few years, the barrier for entry seems pretty insurmountable. The dev teams I’ve worked with have been exclusively male (I’m in marketing) and the culture of shouting and condescension seems like more of a barrier to me than a lost desire to pursue my passions. That said…this seems like a first step in addressing the situation.
