In this episode of That’s Girl Code, Eden and Ellen pull back the curtain on what it really means to be a woman in tech — not just through personal experience, but through decades of data. They trace the fictional journey of “Hannah,” a composite of every woman who’s ever written code, sat through a bias-laced meeting, or been told she’s “too opinionated.” From her first math class to her first pull request, Hannah’s path reveals how stereotype threat, subtle bias, and structural inequities shape who stays in the pipeline and who burns out trying to prove they belong.

Eden and Ellen dive into studies showing that gender-diverse teams literally build better software — faster fixes, cleaner code, fewer bugs — while also exploring why women’s work still faces harsher scrutiny and smaller rewards. They unpack everything from the silent politics of code reviews to the glass cliff of leadership, asking the bigger question: if the data proves diversity makes tech stronger, why is progress still so fragile? This isn’t a pity party; it’s a data-driven reality check — equal parts stats, story, and solidarity.

This week, Ellen and Eden sit down with Michelle Meyer—a seasoned technology executive who’s been both a role model and a mentor to women in tech. From sports to sales to the boardroom, Michelle shares stories of grit, growth, and leadership, plus a few unexpected detours. Together we unpack how to sell the vision when you’re not the one coding, build credibility at the right altitude, and keep your energy for the work that matters. We cover mentorship, making tough calls, and finding your lane without playing the comparison game—then detour into a charming, very Michelle side project.

A chaos in comfort episode: Ellen and Eden trade their most mortifying corporate and studio slip-ups—from double-joining a C-suite call to starting class 10 minutes early—plus internet gems from Slack gone wrong to interview fumbles. Come for the trauma bonding, stay for the reminder that it’s rarely that deep and always fixable.

WWDC: Past, Present, and the Very Glassy Future. Eden calls this her personal Super Bowl, Ellen brings the history tea, and together we connect Apple’s June WWDC promises to what actually shipped. We break down iOS 26’s Liquid Glass glow-up, the skinny-iPhone discourse, and why some “wow” features hit while others… might be for someone else’s life. Then Eden gets delightfully nerdy: VisionOS fundamentals (windows, volumes, spaces), what’s new for spatial web and media, SwiftUI vs. UIKit in 2025, Swift Assist in Xcode 26, containerization, and the rumor-mill about Swift on Android. It’s equal parts fangirl and critical friend—because we love Apple, but we’re not drinking the Kool-Aid without reading the release notes.

Algorithms, but make it a party. We turn classic coding patterns into memorable, real-life stories so you can spot them fast, choose the right approach under interview pressure, and explain your thinking clearly. This is your your totally unboring guide to important algorithms in swe. Expect high-level mental models, quick cues, and fun analogies—not math dumps—plus how these patterns connect to everyday engineering. Perfect for tightening your pattern recognition and confidence before your next code screen.

From Microsoft’s AI job study shaking up automation fears, to GPT-5’s messy launch, to Figma’s record-breaking IPO, we’re spilling every drop. We also dive into Apple’s Liquid Glass design overhaul and Figure AI’s humanoid robots—yes, the ones folding laundry and maybe stealing jobs.

Whether you like your tech tea sweet, bitter, or ice-cold, we’ve got all the sips you need.

What do coding fundamentals and astrology have in common? More than you’d think. In this episode of That’s Girl Code, Ellen and Eden break down core data structures — arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, and hash maps — and match each one to its perfect zodiac sign.

From the organized reliability of Virgo arrays, to the rebellious Aquarius graphs, to the steady Taurus queues, we’ll show you how the logic of computer science connects with the personality of the stars.

Whether you’re a CS student, a software dev brushing up on fundamentals, or just someone who loves a good astrology meme, this episode blends tech, fun, and cosmic vibes.

Pour yourself a glass and join us as we Ballmer’s Peak our way through some of computer science’s wildest lore and tech drama. We cover the science behind Ballmer’s Peak, the messy origin story of OpenAI (and the Elon vs. Sam Altman feud), the person whose “NULL” license plate made him the final boss of California’s vehicle fines, Grace Hopper’s iconic bug moment, and the esoteric Slack “hummus” notification.

From building a morning routine to setting strategic goals, from staying organized with tools like Notion to learning when (and how) to say no, this episode is your go-to guide for thriving in the workplace with confidence and clarity.

We’re sharing the 10 tips that helped us grow in our careers, build strong reputations, and stay aligned with our long-term goals, all while staying true to ourselves. Because being that corporate girl isn’t about doing it all... it’s about doing what matters, and doing it well.

This week, Eden & Ellen break down the tech behind four of your favorite apps—TikTok, Pinterest, Uber, and Netflix. We’re talking real-time data, machine learning, microservices, and the wild backend magic that makes these platforms work.

Whether you’re tech-savvy or just app-obsessed, we’re decoding the systems behind the screen—girl code style. 💻✨

This week, we’re breaking down how modern AI actually works — from machine learning and tokenization to model training and those mysterious “parameters.”

We’ll walk you through how models learn patterns, why they sometimes make things up (aka hallucinate), and how new techniques help them get things right with receipts.

Perfect for anyone who wants to understand the brains behind the bots — no computer science degree required.

In the premiere episode of That’s Girl Code, Eden & Ellen introduce themselves, share how they got into tech, and break down why they started this podcast. Using Git as their metaphorical roadmap (because obviously), they branch into origin stories, tech stacks, favorite projects, and the power of having a work bestie who gits it.

This isn’t just another tech podcast — it’s a space for real talk, curiosity, and growth. Built to empower corporate baddies, young women, and technologists who are navigating their own path in tech — one commit at a time.
