5 things I learnt as a self-taught female developer

>Many people think that being a female developer means facing a lot of discrimination from my fellow colleagues and others, but it isn’t the case for me. I have really encouraging colleagues who give me good advice and guide me along the way.

Self-taught coder in Shenzhen here. Same experience with local guys as the author had in Singapore. While of course we have some serious issues with sexism, it manifests completely differently.

The same guys who politely come to me with technical questions far above my skill level and would never dream of making a sexual comment will say stuff like "It will be so sad when you stop coding to become a mother" :-/
