The Real Obstacles I Faced to Become a Software Engineer (It Wasn’t My Gender)
<p>How did you discover the job that you do now?</p>
<p>For those Software Engineers out there: when did you know that programming was what you wanted to do? When did you first write some code?</p>
<p>I studied computer science at university, but it took some luck, trial and error to find out that this is what I wanted to do with my life. I didn’t even know what code was until I was 18 years old. This was only in 2013, with mobile phones and social media almost as big as it is today.</p>
<p>So how did I have no clue about the world of tech?</p>

<p>We’ve all heard the narrative of how women are dissuaded to study computer science. Society tells us that we should do other things instead, that we should embrace their “maternal” side and become a teacher, a carer, a nurse, etc.</p>
