I am a member of several groups of female programmers and I can confidently say that there are many of us, both front and back, in all technologies. Maybe there are not so many WordPress developers, because girls are very practical, and there is an opinion that PHP is “yesterday’s news”, and they go to learn Python or Java.
As for the party, girls often do not join it because they are afraid of rude and sarcastic programmers. Well, what can I say, there is something in this. But they mainly tease those who cannot formulate a question phone number library correctly. For example, the classic “I clicked somewhere and everything disappeared” will cause a flurry of irony, and the problem described in detail will be solved. In fact, everyone remembers how they started from scratch.
