    Earlier this week, @KelseyTuoc raised good questions about a detail in my NYT mag story on the history of women in coding. I looked into it, and today we struck that detail from the piece: http://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/13/magazine/women-coding-computer-programming.htmlnn.com/ … Attached here, a note on my mistake!pic.twitter.com/X7hvUwHLxS

        Also, @KelseyTuoc published a smart piece looking on difficulty of relying on research by firms, and the need to scrutinize their claims:http://www.vox.com/2019/2/20/18232762/gender-diversity-tech-bad-research-recruiting-new-york-times …

        It's a *really* good point -- this issue of industry-generated stats crops up in every area I've reported in: Tech, marketing firms issuing research on trends, real-estate firms putting out numbers on demand, etc.

        It's compounded, as she notes, by situations where writers rely on press reports of research, without looking to original stuff. This is precisely where I messed up here, and a good lesson for the future.

        As far back as the very early 1980's there were programs to promote women in tech. Our company (Vector Graphic Inc) was the first public tech company with a female CEO (Lore Harp). Bringing women into tech is harder than it first appears.

        You only got the sign wrong. Could happen to anyone.

        Or let me put it another way: anyone who's been conscious for any amount of time in the last ten years knew that tech companies wanted more women and favored them ( some) in hiring. To come to the opposite conclusion, to believe it for even a minute, you had to be toking.
