You know what gets me?  Companies like CyberCoders that actually have smart people that do stuff on that list have no problem finding attractive coders for videos.  The university chooses a dumpy subject when it's clearly not impossible to find better options. Notice how Apollo 11 software engineer Margaret Hamilton and the women who coded ENIAC didn't look like Tumblrinas?  They had a high, mentally taxing workload and they still didn't get fat or make themselves look like shit.  Yet another example of the anecdotal correlation between average IQ and average attractiveness.
