Gender bias in GitHub, a large open-source software community, was the focus of a new article in The Guardian.
One of the developers interviewed is Jenny Bryan, a UBC statistics professor with a clearly female profile on GitHub.
Bryan doesn’t think she’s been discriminated against due to her gender.
“[I]f my gender has any effect at all, I feel [other developers] go out of their way to support my efforts to learn and make more contributions,” said Bryan.
