The are only so many women in tech because 95% of jobs in tech suck balls.

1. entry level with zero career progression

2. agile-scrum micro management

3. task oriented, big picture is for business (grown ups)

4. pay is good, starts above other jobs but hits ceiling after 5y

5. introverts only (95% time is spent sitting inside your head)

6. working with code (inanimate matter) is less interesting than working with people,

7. most often you're surrounded by nerds who don't have a life

Surely the above isn't the case if you're in a successful company, but 90% people maintain legacy internal app in a big corpo.
