A female CEO can hire as many women as she wants? A female founder in any role probably influences hiring tremendously.

  Very true. However, having a woman in a lead technical role to provide mentorship and inspiration to female developers is very important for encouraging more women to become developers and stay in the industry.

  For what it's worth, I'm fairly confident that it's illegal to discriminate on sex when making hiring decisions.

    A female involved in hiring might mean the process is less discriminatory. Thus a female influencing hirings wouldn't necessarily be illegal, but potentially more legal.

      False. A female will prefer female candidates. This is discrimination. Males do this too.
