Disclaimer: sorry for using the words male and female here. These sound very rude in my native language, but I don't know how to better describe sex-bound genders in English.
I'm a Brazilian male developer and I've never worked with a female developer, sadly. Though, I've been working with female testers, PMs and POs all my career (~10 years).
I really wish more women get into development. Some female testers I've worked with confess they would feel their job more rewarding if they were coding features instead of scripts, but never get the opportunity because their experience got limited or that the volume of male workers in this area makes it even more difficult to show she is worthy. Also, there is of course the prejudice factor. When a male manager have been working for too long only with men, they feel afraid of hiring a woman. Fear of she not keeping up, fear of one of his male employees being caught up harassing her, fear of the unknown, imaginations created by his prejudice.
