Women Who Code ⚡️WWCode is back!⚡️500K+ technologists, 147+ Countries, leveling up our skills
⚡️Read our 2025 Roadmap at womenwhocode.com Let’s do this.

PAST
Since 2011, Women Who Code built a vibrant community of nearly half a million technologists powered by the passion and dedication of 1,000 volunteers across 145 countries. Together, WWCode created over 20,000 community-led technical trainings, empowered individuals with $3.5 million in scholarships, and dedicated over a million hours to volunteer service. Women Who Code connected people to mo

re than 14,000 career opportunities, all while nurturing leadership growth and career advancement strategies. Women Who Code fostered a global network through every connection and effort where everyone felt a sense of community and support. In April 2024, sadly, due to a lack of funding, Women Who Code had to shut their doors. PRESENT
We are humbled to welcome Women Who Code to the LWT family of brands. Our two unique brands share the common passion of uniting business and technology leaders from all backgrounds to level up their skills, network with professionals who can support their career growth and increase their economic power. And we’ve both made an intentional decision to focus our value on mid-senior leaders. Despite the challenges of limited financial resources, we are committed to this community of brilliant leaders. We’re not backing down—we’re doubling down. But we want to be clear, this is not a merger; instead, our team is expanding our family of brands to build upon all of the work Women Who Code has done over the last decade. To begin, we plan to listen to you, the members of Women Who Code, to understand what you need and want from this powerful community of talented and exceptional technologists. We invite you to share your thoughts and ideas through our ‘Talk To Us’ button below. These conversations will help guide our path forward, ensuring we remain connected to the specific value you seek. Whether you’re coding your first line or leading the charge at the highest levels, Women Who Code, we want to support you. With that in mind, we want to provide value from the start. We are thrilled to launch two new Women Who Code programs:
WWCode City Membership & WWCode Leadership Program. These programs are designed to elevate tech leaders. WWCode Leadership empowers mid-to-senior technologists to develop and build their leadership skills. At the same time, WWCode Cities membership connects you locally and curates custom introductions to support your career growth. Whether advancing your career or seeking to build deeper local networks, these programs are your next step. Innovation knows no bounds—neither do we. Together, we innovate, lead, and code our way to a shared future that aligns with the world we all want to live in.

Everyone keeps saying tech hiring is dead.

The 2026 data says something different: it didn’t disappear, it moved.

Network admins are sitting at 0.4% unemployment. Security
analysts, 2.7%. Software developers, 3.1% — all well under
the national average. That’s not a shrinking industry. That’s an industry that can’t find enough people.

Which means if you’ve been putting off learning the thing because you weren’t sure it would matter, this is your signal. AI and data skills aren’t a niche specialisation anymore. They’re becoming the baseline.

The door isn’t closing. It’s just moved to a different part of the building.

Swipe for where the demand actually is.

We can all recite these numbers from memory. That’s the part that should embarrass the industry.

None of it is a talent problem. It never was.

Swipe through, then come build the version of tech where these stats look different.

Surprise, surprise.

Women sacrifice sleep, time, energy, career momentum, and whole years of ambition to raise children.

Then they’re asked to sacrifice their pay too.

The same baby that makes a father look stable and committed makes a mother look like a risk. Her work didn’t change. The assumption about her did.

This isn’t a choice women are making. It’s a cost they’re being handed.

Swipe for the numbers.

The 5-word reply that ends a mansplain mid-sentence: 💅

“Yep, that’s what I said.”

Deploy when he confidently explains your own idea back to you, 30 seconds after you said it, to a nodding room.

No eye-roll. No “well actually.” Just five words, a calm smile, and the quiet sound of his slide deck collapsing.

Bonus points if you add nothing else and let the silence do the rest. 😌

Save it for Monday’s standup.

We love you Dolly. An icon in every sense of the word. Inspiring us in life and in business.

The Slack habit that makes people assume you’re senior.

It’s not being online at 11pm. It’s not the fire emoji. It’s this:

Senior people lead with the answer.

Junior message: “Hey, so sorry to bother you! I was looking into the thing and I think maybe there might be an issue with the API? Not sure if it’s just me… happy to jump on a call if that’s easier??”

Senior message: “Heads up, the API’s down. Root cause is X. I’ve deployed a fix, monitoring now. Will confirm in 30.”

Same person. Same competence. Completely different perception.

The shift is tiny but it changes everything: lead with the outcome, not the runway. Drop “just,” “sorry,” and “maybe.” Post it in the public channel, not a nervous DM, visibility is how people learn what you’re capable of. And when it’s done, say it’s done.

You’re not being “too much.” You’re being clear. And clarity reads as seniority every single time.

You’ve probably been told to “build your case” before going for the next role.

Nobody tells the guy who got it on a hunch and a good meeting.

The most expensive thing about this gap is that it teaches capable women to wait and waiting reads as a lack of ambition to the same people holding the ruler.

Swipe through. Then go apply for the thing you’re 60% ready for.
