This doesn't sound so much like an issue with sexism in tech so much as an issue with sexism and social conditioning. Women are taught to be perfectionist and hyperjudgemental about themselves. Of course this translates miserably into tech, rather than a more stable job with less unknowns and better integrated into the rest of societal structures, not a field hardly more than fifty years old in its modern state. Which I find interesting, as those very social structures are the ones not kind to women in the first place. I guess it just goes to show how deep the pressure placed on women runs. IMHO there's nothing that can really be done about the examples guys being assholes, or nothing that can be realistically done about all of them, but I think nine tenths of this article wouldn't exist if we start raising girls to be risk takers instead of social objects. Notice how much the author obsessed over themself in relation to everyone surrounding them. Fifteen hours on an assignment wasn't a problem until she heard of her peers doing it in less time. We're simply not going to have women succeeding in tech and entrepreneurship until we break down the construct of women existing solely as objects that are parts their society. We're all the absolute worst kinds of sexists, because of what men and women expect of young girls. Of course they're going to fail when they're raised believing that trying and failing is worse than not trying at all.
