My experience is quite the opposite as well. Where I work, we write custom software (mostly in Java and .NET) to facilitate the company's business (data processing) and among our developers, two are male and five are female. We were up to four men and four women at one point last year, but two of the men have since left. One of the women was just hired to replace one of the men who will also be leaving at the end of this month.
Disclaimer: I am not one of the developers but I do work with them on a daily basis as part of the systems team.
