I don't think there is any conspiracy here , there is a distinct lack of testosterone in the coding community . Just take a look at the ethos of the Cypher-punks and all the cool coding projects that were part of a counter culture in the 90's and early 2000's and now people are more interested in contributing to facial recognition software and censorship algorithms and whatever else. I wish I was better at coding because I would love to contribute to "freedom-tech" .
