That's nonsense. The same way it could be "Why aren’t there more men in tech?" or "Why aren’t there more people in tech?" whatsoever. The whole article consists of telling how good and capable she was (and by arguments she uses you can suspect that she really is not) and concludes it by "I wasn't appreciated by society, so that's it". Stereotypically, being a guy-programmer isn't "cool" as well. Never really was. These "nerds" were't appreciated as well. Did they care? No. Because they simply liked and valued what they were doing much more than somebody's opinion on that. And that is what really makes them "good". They do not need appreciation to do what they do. I know quite a few women in tech that can be called "good" indeed and I never heard a single one of them blaming others for attitude or talking about all these "social justice" nonsense at all. They write blogposts about DSP and compiler optimization instead. And for some reason it is always somebody who has nothing to really be proud of (in sense of technical achievements) who writes posts like that one. It is so obvious that I still can't understand why it finds enough social response to be on top of HN. Again and again.
