Women getting into an area doesn’t bring down value as the title implies.. but one thing in the article I think is true that areas that are more accessible to get into with fewer years of training such as from code camp graduates, then the people in that field will try to differentiate themselves by saying they are back end engineers. It truly does take way more time, effort and a level of persistence to be able to glue together the Linux kernel, various internet services, cloud, etc compared to building UIs for the web. The main issue I think is the quantity of people available to do the backend.. so commands a higher price. I think if there were no women in the front end side the wage would still be lower for those people since it would have more people available to do it in the job market. I also think many men assume they will not be good at UI development and just don’t even try to do front end stuff. So that lowers the quantity of men going that direction.
