I have never in my years encountered a woman developer, ever. I live in UK near Manchester.
I have encountered my fair share of female SEO's but never actually a developer?
I don't think from my point of view it can even be classed as stereotypical when it's just the way it appears to be? (Where I am at least)
I don't think it matters either way but it is equally something that I have ever thought about.

- chrislomax 14y agoWell as I was writing that post I got to thinking, woman (in my opinion) generally have a better idea of logic. Organisation and planning come second nature to a lot of women I know, where men (in general again) it takes more to get the planning right. This makes me think that women would be better at programming, as a generalisation. This obviously cannot be applied to all people but in my opinion and experience women are more logical and organised.
- petercooper 14y agoMaybe you don't go to the right/enough events. I'm a bit of a hermit but even I know several female developers in the north (mostly in Manchester and Leeds) from events like BarCamp Manchester, Leeds Hack, and GeekUp. Maybe there are tech events up here that women don't attend but I haven't come across one yet.. meaning perhaps I don't go to enough events either ;-)
