The organization Women Who Code provided scholarships to tens of thousands of women around the world during its time and was also useful to help women get a proverbial foot in the door through peer networking. The Board announced that effective pretty much immediately, the org is dissolving due to its inability to attract funding.
I started working in IT around 1983 or so. I've never seen a lot of women programming or in IT in general, but the ones that I've worked with were always quite good programmers and IT people. I'm sorry to see them go.

I don't know how many email day I get with people asking for money.
And as each month closes out, it just gets worse. :(

If an email is in my inbox and it's not a friend or something that is needful or that I'm quickly interested in reading, into the trash it goes. Check spam folder, do likewise, as sometimes their rules are odd and friends get sucked into it.
