However ideal it would be to have more female representation in the tech field, I don't see this specific story as a 'success.' All-female recruitment cycles just seem more drastic and worse than quotas, although the increased female applicants is a positive and shows many don't even apply out of feeling intimidated or inadequate in the tech world due to their gender. Only interviewing females definitely lacks meritocracy, but we could test this gender-exclusivity at an earlier age to encourage more female applicants to apply into a fair, meritocratic job application process. The increased engagement of female applicants in this has definitely affected my opinion (positively) on the usefulness of female-only code camps and things of that sort.
