'Women who code' closing
This is disappointing. ‘Women Who Code” is shutting down due to lack of funding. I agree with what Tim Cook once said “There are no good excuses” for the lack of women in the sector.
Women Who Code - Empowering women to excel in tech careers
Women Who Code is on a mission to empower diverse women to excel in technology careers. We support engineers, developers, data scientists, architects, designers and other technologists with the resources and community to stay in tech and level up.
Disappointing but not surprising. The Charity sector as a whole (in this country, unsure about other countries) is going through a brutal phase at the moment. Good people, trying to do good things, but having to fight hard every single day.
I tend to think of it this way (and I don’t know if I’m correct) - the charity sector fills the gaps in policy and society where there’s a need. Some of those gaps are getting wider and wider, or are just being ignored.
I’d hate to see the tech sector stall or go backwards though.
