One woman in tech's genius move from consultant to coder

It’s that feeling in the pit of your stomach like you don’t belong. That feeling that tells you - maybe I should just skip the rest of this event, because it’s clearly not for me. We’ve all been there - you go to a mainstream tech event, and despite the fact that you do in fact work in tech, you feel like a fraud. Why? Because you don’t code.

But what if learning coding was easy? What if learning it was geared towards women specifically? One of the themes of the Women in Tech conference on March 8th in Stockholm was to just go for it and learn coding - because it can be learned by anyone. One of the most awesome aspects of coding, to me, is the fact that no one seems to care how you learned how to code - if it was via school or with friends, or an online program, or a week in Barcelona with Tjejer Kodar (Girls Code). They only care about how much skill you have. At least this is my impression as a non-coder (for the time being).
