We are supposed to believe the girl pictured in this article wrote it. That could be. What do you think? Should more women pursue careers in IT? |

Not as if that woman is attractive, so why not? |

Quote: Should more women pursue careers in IT? Women generally aren't cut out to be techies. I imagine the few who are probably go very far because they're probably more committed, and companies trying to be "diverse" gobble them up. Maybe I'm sexist, but so is anyone telling women to go into IT just because there's "not enough women in it." --- |

Really, if they meet the requirments for the job, gender shouldn't matter. |

I'm gender-agnostic as well. If "more women" are cut out for the job, then yes, "more women" should pursue a career in IT, but not because they're female. _______________________________ |

At my work, we have a female Systems Architect, we had another female SA before her, and the boss of the Architecture team is a woman too. So I'd believe the article. I'm all for more women in IT, but I suspect it's perceived as more [geeky] male dominated, and that may put a number of them off. Having said that, until recently I was surrounded (literally) by 5 female programmers -- |

Nice, I can use the same image in two responses, this time as material in a campaign to get more girls interested in Allegro: "Allegro makes you sexy (It's got what the geeks crave (bikini not included).)." --- 0xDB | @dennisbusch_de --- |

XNA defeats Allegro in every way that counts. You don't deserve my sig. |

It miss the cross platform thing. And for me it's really important. "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

Um.. I might be missing the point in her letter but wasn't she upset about the article because it said that many girls where interested in IT because it's trendy?.. The first thing she does is to talk about the social benefits of being a developer |

If computer programming becomes a social trend, then wont it become not cool? |

She just realized that her crush on geeks is abnormal and, feeling self conscious about it, she is now trying to recruit more to be like her so she no longer feels so bad about herself. |

I had my doubts, but after reading the article I believe the author to be a female "software engineer" (or possibly the author won me over with the whole "nerds" are cool speech). I'm undecided about whether I believe the image to be the author though. IMO, many of us seem to have a good sense of humor, but most girls don't get it and around girls a lot of us get nervous; so claiming us to be the funny guy that sat behind them in class is bullshit, IMO... -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Women should do whatever they want. I do not approve of federal funding or quotas to push anyone into a direction they would not naturally lean towards. If we all do what we enjoy or are best at, we will all be better for it. "gut feeling the people in England are poor" -Samuli |
