I'm very happy to see more women gaining interest in coding. With anything, there are always contributions to be made in the programming world that men cannot "see" or "know" including web apps that don't yet exist, but that women would find useful.
How would a man know what a woman finds useful unless he talks to his wife or girlfriend who introduces the idea to him? And might develop it through her ideas, which could work out, but coming directly from the source: A woman could know how to design and develop for other women.
Unfortunately, when it comes to all major social media networks, a look at all the CEOs and creators reveals: they were all created by men. Products loved by men and women, but there are still plenty of things to create for women by women because men simply have no understanding of how to do it or reason to do it. Finding those niches leaves plenty of opportunity for women.
Women coders also inspire young girls to break the cliche: Knowing about computers, knowing about programming, knowing about how things work does not make any girl a nerd or a geek. Her curiosity will lead her to so much opportunity! It makes her intelligent and instills a sense of passion and creativity in her! Even if she is a nerd, she should own the title!
