Completely agree with this, and I don't think there's anything wrong with the notion of companies wanting success, and they should be allowed to pursue that. The increased female applicants seems to show that many still don't believe they're capable in the field due to their gender, though, and it seems like a great case for more female-only code camps or lessons. This would likely draw more female applicants as well, and thus entice more into the field while still hiring by talent. Hiring should be purely meritocratic, though, both for company success and often societal.
