Equal Representation on the Horizon

March 27th, 2017 by Rich Feller

The results are in. Stack Overflow’s annual web developer survey found that 10% of the respondents identified as women. While this is still an incredibly low number, the percentage increased 3.4% in the last year. But what does this mean for you? If you’re a woman interested in entering the field of technology, the field looks to be moving toward greater equal representation. This is particularly evident in the statistic that out of all the women surveyed, the majority of women reported that they had been coding for less than a year, indicating that the pool of female developers is growing! So, don’t wait. It’s never too late to join the thousands of women learning to code!
