This is painful to read. Their big name speaker is a comedienne, not a female programmer. Maybe they should borrow one of Microsoft's, Google's, or Yahoo's.

You're trying to sell programming based on its social merits? That's like selling baseball based on its nonstop action.

I was into Latin, which is 100 percent more boring than coding. But I was into it because of the way that it was sold to me in high school. It was really social, and I felt like cool people were doing it and that’s why I wanted to do it. If coding can be sold that way, that’s awesome.

They're still at it.
It expands the recently introduced Made With Code initiative, a $50 million plan focused on getting school-aged girls to code. The new diversity push will pay for three months of continued education in coding for women and minorities in tech.

A decent-looking woman in IT is like a huge expanse of nothingness that's 0.1% random patches of sand. In 0.1% of that sand, there's a single oasis.
