Change starts with hiring. Tech job descriptions are usually geared towards males and have long lists of skills, most of which aren’t needed or can be learned on the job. Women who don't identify with each and every skill tend not to apply for these jobs, but that doesn't dissuade men. Interviewing committees are also usually all-male and ask questions geared toward boys. (Dropbox, for example, would ask “What is something that you’re geeky about?")
Women must be interviewed for every job opening and become part of every hiring process. Companies must recruit from colleges where there are high proportions of women and minorities and hire for competency rather than credentials.
