YC Co-Founder Jessica Livingston On The Dearth Of Women In Tech

Perhaps the Tech industry needs women more than women need the Tech industry.

Slightly confused

Jessica's article is excellent but I don't see the relevance of her article to women

The comments that she makes Save money, Learn about start-ups, etc... are just as valid for women as for men

Is this (dearth of women) really the right question to be asking or should it be about the relative lack of start-ups (/students starting start-ups) and how the education system (in it's widest sense) should react?

Sorry Jessica - excellent article - but I'm not sure it got to the point

This issue isn't limited to entrepreneurship; there's a dearth of women who study computer science in school.

If someone in your IT department is actually good, befriend them

With that attitude, you aren't likely to make many friends in IT.
