To me, the real horror show is the 1:18 ratio between contributors who publicly identify themselves as a Woman and contributors who publicly identify themselves as a Man[1].<p>There&#x27;s so many hypotheses one could make about that (ratios among software engineers in general, differing interest in programming as a hobby beyond work, the confrontational culture among projects, hiding ones identity to avoid creeps, etc). It&#x27;s a good start and we could really use further research.<p>[1] Sorry that&#x27;s worded so awkwardly, but it&#x27;s hard to phrase that without implying something unsupported by this particular data.
