Are women encouraged to take on non-development roles at tech companies?
SC: Sometimes I get feedback from women that they’ve been encouraged not to go into development, or they’ve been told they’d be a better fit in management. That’s all arbitrary data because it’s only based on things I hear. I’m hesitant to say, definitively, that women are being discouraged from development. In my career as a developer, I’ve gotten support from people who want to see more women in the field. These people have gone out of their way to make sure I succeed.
