Shrugs, speak for yourself.<p>I was at a tech talk last week, 40 devs, 1 woman, 39 blokes.<p>You don&#x27;t have to be a genius to see there is something off with that ratio.<p>I&#x27;ve rarely seen more than 1-2 at any of the tech events I&#x27;ve gone to there.<p>I&#x27;ve also heard the crap some programmers say about women (not all but enough to leave a bad taste).<p>Prior to working in the tech industry I worked in the retail industry and the gender split was pretty much 50&#x2F;50.
