The JetBrains 2021 developer survey[0] shows that a larger proportion of more experienced developers are male, which isn't surprising. But the degree is to some extent. Percentages of respondents' professional coding experience:
male female other
no prof. 81% 15% 4%
< 1 year 88% 10% 3%
1-2 years 92% 6% 2%
3-5 years 94% 4% 2%
6-10 96% 2% 2%
11-16 96% 2% 2%
16+ years 97% 2% 2%
They obviously had the data broken down by age AND gender but didn't show it. I find this to be a suspicious omission. It may have negated the difference by gender or mute it to be far less newsworthy.
