@alanbuxton @yabellini When I started in IT (with a modern languages degree) in the late 80s/early 90s, the industry was expanding rapidly and needed to recruit from a wide range of backgrounds as there weren't enough CS graduates. So there were lots of liberal arts grads and women entering the field. It was only when universities ramped up CS grad production that the tech bros started to fill all the available entry-level roles.

Must admit I miss the intellectual diversity we had back then.
