My first book, The Computer Boys Take Over, has been attracting attention in the news recently, largely because of its discussion of gender and computer programming. This article in Fastcompany on the “Evolution of Brogramming” discusses my work in relation to the forthcoming documentary CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap. In their insightful review of sexism in the tech industry in The Baffler (entitled “The Dads of Tech”), Astra Taylor and Joanne McNeil situate my historical work in the context of recent incidents of sexism such as GamerGate.
