Experiences of a self-taught female coder- “Women can’t code?”

If she really started coding 2 months ago, I don't understand why she expects to have a job. It's great that she started, and I understand that she doesn't have the money for a university, but if she doesn't go to university, she should have a real portfolio and show real understanding and spend real time learning (for example not just using angularjs, but making commits to angularjs, which shows a much greater understanding of complex code).

Should I try to teach myself to play the piano for 2 months and expect getting a job as a pianist?

She says 6 months, not 2, before the first interview.

Funny how she says how she had a Github and Codepen and she sent her code yet people said "But you're a girl", and then and you reply like this.

If I send my code and people don't look at it, I assume they're assholes. In her case, it's systematic, and obviously more complex.

I'm not sure if you can't read or if you just couldn't comprehend what was written...
