怎样才能培养出女版乔布斯

    所以，拜托了，别再老是想着并到处宣扬什么所谓的答案就是教会女性如何编程。要想改变现状要做的事还很多。对我们这些早就知道如何编程，并且从青少年时期就开始干这个的女性来说，我们每天都要和内心深处的“滥竽充数综合征”（imposter syndrome，一般译为“骗子综合征”，指一个有能力的人总觉得技不如人，觉得自己是骗子而等着被人识破的心理状态——译注）作斗争，同时还得和从周围大多数人那里听到的各种关于女性角色的说法作斗争。

    创新需要大量知识、无数努力和高度专注。只有当我们身边充满支持的力量时，才可能做到专注。如果我们被太多陈词滥调和所谓“头等大事”弄得心烦意乱，那就很难指望我们能创造出可以改善人类生活、同时创造财富的产品了。

    本文的重点不是要指责谁，向什么人发难，也不是要找什么借口。它只是试图起到教育作用，同时让读者意识到，如果我们真的想和男性平起平坐，在个人、社会和全球层面需要投入多大程度的努力。

    如果您希望伸出援手，同时确实深信推动女性投身技术界这一事业的非凡意义，那就请在每一天里都随时随地地宣传这种观念，鼓励身女性，同时放手让女性去干吧！

    最后，尽管可以抱着希望，但千万别指望这些努力能在2020年就造就出马克、杰夫、斯蒂夫或埃隆这样的人物！毕竟女性在美国获得投票权也只有100年时间，我们还需要43年才可能结出硕果。（财富中文网）

    So please, I beg of you, stop thinking and touting that the answer lies in merely teaching women how to code. It requires more than just that. For those of us who know how already know how to code, and have been doing since we were teenagers, we can attest to the daily internal battle we fight against the imposter syndrome, and the outward battle we fight against received mixed messages from everyone else.

    Innovation takes a great amount of knowledge, effort, and focus. Focus can only come if there is a support structure around us to help facilitate it. If we are distracted by mixed messages, and a plethora of priorities, then it will be hard to expect for us to create products that improve human life and wealth.

    The point of this post isn't to place blame, to single out anyone, or come up with excuses. It is merely to educate, and make the reader aware of the amount of effort that has to take place on an individual, social and global level if we really want to have parity of presence.

    If you want to help and truly believe in the cause of having women in tech then educate, encourage and empower every day!

    Finally, hope but please don't expect that all these efforts to yield a Mark, Jeff, Steve, or Elon by 2020, for it will only have been 100 years since we were given the right to vote in the US, we may still need an additional 43 years.
