content: I've worked with some females. Most were fairly useless. A couple were good. One was well above average. She was well respected. I've never seen an exceptional female programmer. Since I do consulting I frequently have to consult with people depicted in your image. Especially if doing Oregon or Cali work. It's usually terrible. I usually have to work out the basic code and diagram the design. Even then it sometimes gets fucked up. Which tends to piss off the company because then I have to charge more hours to do what their staff should be doing per the consulting agreement.
