    What were the challenges they faced? The article outlines that they faced insurmountable issues but didn’t state what those issues were or what they did to try and mitigate them.

      Turns out when you pay everyone 6 figures, you burn through your cash pretty quickly.

    It turns out that “Women Who Code Closing - Women Who Code” actually isn’t about Women that code a software called “Closing”, and Women that code in general.

    In fact, what they meant to write was:

    The End of an Era: “Women Who Code” Closing – Women Who Code.

    I know I’m gonna get downvoted for this, but punctuation matters, and sadly, it has to be said. So here I go.
