Yesterday I was talking to a bunch of computer science teachers about how proud I was that my best programmer in y12 was a girl and one of the middle aged men said quite sagely that he tells his boys that they should look forward to working with girls because they're a different style of programmer and they may not be as good or as fast but they are excellent *communicators*.
He saw no irony in saying that to me when I could program him into a corner with my hands tied behind my back. Snort
