The article's thesis may or may not be correct, but the proponents of the argument do themselves no favors by conflating programmers with data-entry clerks.<p>EDIT: As far as I know - people like Grace Hopper never got out (also US vs UK and Private vs Government and/or Military jobs, as examples, confound that stats)
There has never been a better time to be a woman in the valley. My female family members have gotten a job everywhere they have interviewed, even at the top tier. There is no "pushing out" now, infact its the opposite, everyone from recruiter to the hiring managers have high level okr's and bonuses for finding and hiring women.<p>Is it really necessary to dig out some skeletons and create some controversy where there is none.
