Why is it that any article about any female in computing, regardless of who they're working for or what they're working on, will always mention at some point the high male:female ratio in most technical fields? What is it about this topic that makes people want to come back to it over and over and over, no matter how many discussions they've had on it previously? Eg., even though this article's title is completely generic, the very first thought I had upon looking at it was "this will talk at some point about the dearth of women in programming or startups or something-or-other", and lo, my prophecy was fulfilled.

The interview was conducted by The Next Women, which has a "focus on startups and growing businesses, led, founded or invested in by women."

I don't understand why an article wouldn't mention it. A lot of articles are written because the subject stands out in some way, and to not address that seems remiss to me.
