Yes, because she says "I, lady coder" in the title. This implies that she's speaking for women. If she wasn't, then she shouldn't mention her gender.

- Benjo 16y agoMy point stands. She identifies herself as female for the purposes of giving a data point and explain why she wrote the post in the first place. The author left a follow-up comment: my point isn't that that female coders aren't interested -- it's that I am not interested, and a lot of day-job-coders aren't interested So regardless of your interpretation, she wasn't trying to speak for all women. Personally I think it's a stretch to draw that conclusion.
