[Scary]

anyone ever met women programmers who knew what they were doing ?

Not met her, but...

"Ada Lovelace was born as the daughter of the poetic Lord Byron. Her mother got her homeschooled in math and science. When she was 27, she translated an article about Babbages Analytical Engine and added a description to compute Bernoulli numbers with it. The Right Honourable Augusta Ada, Countess of Lovelace wrote the first program in history."

Have met some good ones though.

Female programmers, when found, tend to be better than average, IMHO.
I think this is because if they've stuck with it long enough to work in it, given all the drongo males they encounter in the industry, they must really love it.
