I wrote a blog post about my journey in building this (http://biaanghel.tumblr.com/post/117116852474/building-my-fi...). After writing it I'm wondering if it's even possible for a new programmer, let alone a female programmer, to get a real, good paying job as a developer. It seems that there are so many technologies to learn and the bar is ever higher. Would be interesting to hear any successful / unsuccessful stories. I guess what I'm asking is: do I even stand a chance?
