Obviously this is anecdotal, but I'm not ashamed to say that I was a bit ticked last semester when I came across a girl in one of my classes that had only taken one CS course, the intro class, and the past summer had interned at Microsoft. After her freshman year. As I sat next to her, watching her draw on her free Surface Pro and text on her free Lumia, I was thinking about the projects I was working on, the weekends upon weekends I had spent in highschool tinkering around in a shell, and yeah, it pissed me off. I'm not by any means claiming that women can't code, that's ridiculous. I've coded with with women that are incredible thinkers. I just think this is a problem, is all. Meritocracy over everything.
