While it is a woman, Ada Lovelace, who is often credited with originating the concept of software, today's computer tech-related jobs are held mostly by men. The tech sector must continue to work against factors that inhibit gender equality within it. One such factor appears to be prejudice about women's abilities to write computer programming code. A recent study of a program-sharing and development website analysed the rates by which suggested code changes were accepted by website users according to the gender of the user contributing the changes. In cases where the contributor's gender was not made clear on the website, 72 per cent of the suggestions made by women were accepted. In cases where the contributor's gender was revealed to be female, the acceptance rate fell to 63 per cent.
