Learning to Code as a Woman Changed My Life

I wish the title was different.

The article offers a no-bullshit list of resources that could help someone get started in software engineering. Most of the people here won't need it for themselves, but it's helpful to have such a list to give to the people who need it (even PhD scientists often have too little exposure to coding, and need to get started somewhere!).

The title is focused on the author's point is that it's a viable career path even for people who didn't think it would be one, including herself.

True, but appending "..and here are the resources that helped" would describe it even better.

A list of resources would be hard to exactly recall and become outdated.

It's more about the idea that resources are available and to heres a starting point to find your own.

I'm going to have to disagree. I thought it wasn't great.

I really recommend https://www.womenwhocode.com/ https://www.womenwhocode.com/resources
