I'm also in the tech industry.

The position I'm in now I've worked at for about 5 years. As of about a half year ago, we hired our first woman. She's junior, but doing a fine job. A few days ago, we just interviewed our third woman ever. We'll likely hire her if we can. We're a very rapidly growing business with dozens of devs and ops.

My previous job was at one of those giganto multi-billion-dollar international conglomos. (Although unlike some conglomos, they did at least manufacture and sell real products.) Out of scores and scores of devs and ops from all around the world, from every continent with an above-freezing temperature, I only knew of three women, and one of them was complete deadwood.
