@rose@berlin.social If it were later, it would be less a gendered thing (it would just be framework-heavy/anti-css vs. whatever is left of... not that).
But especially around then - that I've learned from folks like betsythemuffin, Sara Soueidan; and wish knew then - when frameworks were taking over and 'full stack' was becoming the thing, it was very much a pushing out of women in the frontend space.

@joshuaelliott@mastodon.social Interesting. And sorta sad - this ties in directly with web sustainability, and the W3C Sustainable Web Interest Group - like a lot of this space - remains male-dominated. (Some will say it's not because there's maybe 30% women, but that's not 50%... and I'm not sure employees count.) I remain baffled by the contrast between the optimisers and the "fuck it let's send them 3 MB of unused code" types. Here I am debating Brotli static level 11 vs 9. Different worlds.
