        I know a coder girl who doesn't have a beard. Does that count?

          knowledge of programming is important, yes. u know at least what a database is, right? u design classes, multithread, make good use of callbacks... u even write tests [and use mocks :)]... but do u have a beard...? all the great books and pioneers in software [in fact, most engineers i know from other disciplines] seem to sport some kind of facial hair- style and type not being that important... and most developers i know can't be bothered to shave every day [i definitely can't stand the habit]... but then u got the marketing guys/gals.. and they seem to have time to shave every day [or at least prefer a clean face] and all the images they present with developers show them with a clean mug- but that can't be accurate.. or is it? ::light hearted:: how stereotyped is the image of the bearded engineer?

                      I'd say not. Of the teams I've worked on, very, very few (I can only think of a couple) of the guys have ever had beards. Their mugs* of course, are anything but clean. * coffee mugs, that is :doh:

                              50 years ago, women may actually have had a micro beard. These days, with all the laser technology available, I guess the answer would be "no, today's women do not have facial hair" :-)

                                Women do have facial hair, just that the growth is too small to be noticeable.
