Programming Diversity
summary
Tech teams and events face concrete gaps and fixes: women earn about 80.9% of what men do, 60% of women leave tech within ten years and women make about 24% of the industry but only 3% of open source contributors. Problems include later access to computers, biased hiring language, and hostile workplaces; one measurable fix at Harvey Mudd is asking “have you programmed before?” and grouping novices to increase female CS retention.
