The unix/cloud team I was part of until today is/was about 50% women.
Today, two colleagues messaged me separately to say that they primarily took the jobs because I was in the interview, and when they saw another female unix hacker, they realised this might be a good place to work.
If my role is tarot-bothering tattooed gothic-techno hacker mum-figure, then I'm very good with that.
My points are that representation fkn matters, and I'm kind of unemployed.
