It makes me sad that a community that I'm part of and am passionate about has such negative behavior towards female members. I think it would be extremely positive for the developer community as a whole if there were more female developers, but I'm not sure how we go from the male centric community that exists today to one that accepts female members as equal peers. I'd like to think that the dev team at my startup would be welcoming and accepting of a female dev, but the truth is I have no idea, because we only ever had one female developer interview, and she had only a rudimentary understanding of HTML and JS, so we did not hire her.
Does anyone out there in the startup community have a more integrated dev team? And if so how did you attract female devs and guide the team culture to make them feel welcome and accepted?
