guy (astonished): Wait.. are you serious? In Linux? Really? What a shame people still react like this. Three of the 5 best programmers I ever met are women.

guy (astonished): Wait.. are you serious? In Linux? Really? What a shame people still react like this. Three of the 5 best programmers I ever met are women. They're out there. Just not here.

My wife codes, and reads HN, and I'm waiting for her reaction to this article.

Maybe this woman doesn't feel like a programmer. I find I can sense other developers when I meet them.

Makes sense. It's easy for a guy to go in computing even if they don't have a passion for it, however a woman needs to be well more motivated about it before she'll consider programming as a career.
