This is too rich coming from a journalist for a feminist magazine. Journalism is one profession where gender makes no difference. The fact there is also a large feminist audience means guaranteed customers for this particular writer's POV.

Writing computer code however, is truly gender agnostic. The computer and the end user cannot tell the gender of the author of the code. The code must simply do what it is intended to do, be efficient and relatively bug free. Faster and more accurate coders are highly valued in the industry. 

The fact that there are relatively fewer women in computer programming in spite of decades of affirmative action and encouraging women to enter the field, tells us something about our society and the desire/ability of women to perform that type of work.

It is also not surprising that a blinkered feminist journalist is unable to hear what it is saying.
