We're proud to pay homage to and honor the original #GirlCoder: Sweden's own Leja Kress! Leja was the OGGC (original girl coder) extraordinaire. She made a splash in the late 90s taking on New York fashion ecommerce tech when it wasn't easy to get into, armed with only Flash4 and CSS. Not just that, but she went on to hire our first female developer and build some of the earliest fashion ecommerce sites before platforms like Magento or Shopify even existed - imagine having to code everything from scratch!
As a society we need more women taking part in coding and technology so we don’t miss out on their valuable perspectives. As AI grows ever more prevalent and with potentially scary outcomes, we need to bring different points of view to programming and web development. Let's celebrate trailblazers like Leja who have led us this far; here's hoping for even more amazing ladies making waves soon.
