New data suggests women write better code:
A group of student researchers set out to determine whether people are biased against code written by women, and discovered the opposite: Code written by women has a higher acceptance rate on the social coding site GitHub than code written by men.
But there’s one tremendous caveat; this is only the case when the individual’s gender is unknown to GitHub users.

Microsoft is continuing its march toward a more open future. The company said today it will open source a core piece of its Edge web browser, the successor to Internet Explorer.
Microsoft will publish the source code for Chakra, the part of Edge responsible for running JavaScript code, next month on the code sharing and collaboration site GitHub, the company said in a blog post. What’s more, the company will accept code contributions from developers outside of Microsoft—a point driven home by the fact that it made the announcement not at a company event but at the JSConf US Last Call developers conference in Florida.
