A very sad day for women who code: the charity Women Who Code is no more

[thewayne]

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.
