Anecdotally, yes I&#x27;ve met people who won&#x27;t hire a woman. Reasons vary from an assumption that they won&#x27;t be as capable because they have interests outside of coding, a belief that other developers won&#x27;t be as productive if there&#x27;s a woman on the team because they&#x27;ll be distracted, or that they won&#x27;t want to be a part of the company long term because they&#x27;ll want to leave to have a family.
