He forgot the most important bit, programmers are incredible narcissists and love nothing better than to ruminate publically on why they are so much better than the rest of the population and require special handling. Instant Slashdot coverage!

I've been working for 10 years. I've seen female programmers only in government and big companies working on federal contracts. They are usually in support groups. Some of them have been programming since the 1970s, true. They are very enthusiastic about ksh shell scripts.
I'm sorry, but I've never seen a female programmer in a private company, and I've never seen a creative woman-programmer.
