Fun fact: there is a difference between "coding" and "programming", and even "software engineering". And if someone starts talking about "coding" or "coders" you can assume they don't know what you're talking about.

Tldr "coding" is the physical act of writing code and it's only one tiny part of making computer software. It's the easy bit, tbh.

#This is why I don't trust Girls Who Code #You can teach someone to code in a week but they'll still be next to useless as a software developer #We don't need more 'female coders' that's a nothingburger we need more female software engineers #Also there are plenty of 'women in tech' we don't need more 'women in tech'#They're largely just BAs or UX designers or Marketers or middle managers and so on #We need more Women In Software Engineering
