Yesterday my son attended a local hackathon event for teens.
I chatted with another parent, asked if she's also in tech.
She said, yes she is in tech. She also said that she tried so hard to discourage her daughter from tech, because from her own experience as a woman and mother, she hit a ceiling, and got left behind when she took parental leave, and she wanted better for her daughter.
This hurts so much, hearing this in the year 2024 😢
