Note from the editor

At Code Like a Girl, we are a human-first publication dedicated to celebrating, supporting, and uplifting women and non-binary individuals in technology. Our mission is to inspire young women to explore careers in tech, empower those already working in the industry, and provide resources for parents, educators, and allies to help create a more inclusive future. We believe in authentic, human voices. That’s why we do not accept AI-generated content. Every story, every insight, and every article published here comes from lived experiences and genuine passion for technology and equity. We also strive to educate and engage male allies in promoting gender equality in tech, because creating lasting change requires all of us. If you’d like to share your voice, we welcome new writers! See the tab called “Submit Your Story” on our home page for our writers' guide. It includes instructions on how to become a writer.
