All my friends built customized MySpace pages back in the day, but none of them are coders now. It gave you just enough tools to make a really interesting profile, but you would quickly hit a ceiling. During the same period, I was learning HTML using Dreamweaver and Arachnophilia (a combination of WYSIWYG and IDE). So I disagree w/the premise, even if there may have been some people that kept going, I doubt that it was a large contributor to the devs we have today because if you want to start coding you will probably start with something that gives you more flexibility.

"Large" is probably unmeasurable, but the number of women especially who started development with something like customization CSS is larger than you might think.
