It's more than fixing the technical interview process. Bottom line is western culture does not raise daughters to succeed in tech. From my own experiences 80% of the chemists I've worked with (including leadership) are female - so it's not a total failure in STEM education.
- InclinedPlane 10y agoThe culture around software development is unfortunately very misogynistic and/or off-putting and exclusionary toward women, so they find themselves pushed away from the dev education/career track from an early age and onward. It wasn't always this way, it used to be that women made up a larger percentage of software engineers, but the culture changed over time. Not that dudes in tech are willing to accept this, for them everything about the culture is part of its charm, and the industry is a perfect meritocracy.
