This article is dismissing a lot of good projects without any arguments. Rails Girls for example has a very good track record of bringing people into the industry and they care a lot about that. I'd like to see proper numbers, no gut feelings. Also, Rails Girls accepts men, they just outreach to a different group. I may be biased, but I run a conference[1] including a Rails Girls workshop in Berlin and the whole thing just got so much better since we bring new people on board. They are newbies, alright, but hasn't the argument for the IT industry always been on how easy it is to get started, even with a different education?
