Women in IT

[sasguru]

My experience of techie women in IT is that it tend to be the opposite of a bell curve. You get some fantastic women developers and some who are utter sh!te, but I've never met an average one. I'm assuming that this is because of the chauvanistic attitude in the industry. The ones that succeed are those that are blindingly good, know it, and stick with it. The ones that are crap are so pig-headed that they stick with it through sheer stubbornness. The average developers get so pissed off with the male dominated environment that they eventually move out of the industry.

Two of the best developers I've ever worked with in IT have been women. And I'm not a Wintel developer either, so that stereotype can be thrown out of the window too.

Conversely, every single one of the average, lazy, in it for the money types have been men.

Feckthe pc bulltulip. Essentially men are more logical, hence they are better at IT.

"That's another thing, when they do work in IT it's in the Wintel environments.....not in proper IT. They're all paper-MCSEs. They make Mordac look educated."
