My entry into programming was through making website layouts as a teenager. This was back in the days of geocities, expage, angelfire. There were lots of girls around my age doing this kind of thing, making personal pages, fanpages, CSS templates for other people. Then livejournal appeared, and now tumblr. Some of us made the transition from CSS to learning Ruby on Rails, but not a lot. I don't know why. But I don't think it's fair to say that girls aren't interested in code.

Well, the exact numbers on the right-hand side are still unknown:

    [girls interest in code] = [interest induced by predispositions] +
                               [… by unalterable social pressure] +
                               [… by alterable social pressure] ± chance
