gender
Currently (2018) about 25% women in commercial software development.
FOSS projects are more difficult to assess due to the common use of
pseudonyms, but the percentage is probably similar. Before 1970
people writing software code were more like 50% women or above, and
this early change in gender composition has now been well documented.
