Where will the six figure executive salaries come from if they did that?

Where do they come from when they are closing?

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.

[–] tormeh@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Funding issues, according to the article

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 5 points 7 months ago

Complete and total mismanagement of funds, you mean.

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.
