> She is the only woman that I'm aware of who blogs about programming
While I cannot speak to your awareness, I can say for a fact that there are many women who blog about programming.

Maybe programming blogs aren't that interesting to you so you don't have much exposure to them? I'm struggling to understand how you would not be aware that there are more such blogs beyond Rachel's.
I'm not a programmer. I already said that.
If there are many more women who actually blog about programming per se, rather than blogging about the problem of being a woman in tech, then I am even more mystified as to why her writing seems to be so popular here.
On a technical level her skills/knowledge are world-class and her most successful posts[1] have been tech-focused.

Thank you.
Because this is not site about programming, this is site about culture around programming.
This isn't a site about programming, nor about programming culture. It is a site for discussing things that are intellectually engaging and it is open to anyone who wishes to join.
