I guess I’ve never really thought about how pretty much every effort I’ve ever seen to get girls into tech focuses on writing code and not system administration?

Yes, system admin and related needs more women and more diversity in general! Unlike what has been said, the field is not disappearing and we’re not all becoming programmers (only). I know very few read this blog, but if any woman, even if it’s your second career, would like any help in this area, give me a shout here:

I’m very well-versed in wide areas of my own field and related fields (scripting/light programming, vendor management, project management), have multiple certs (VCP-DCV, CCNP, CCDP, ITIL, MCSE and an expired RHCE), and have been doing it professionally for over 15 years now. I’ve also successfully mentored a young woman who went into a variant of my field after she decided she hated programming full-time.
