Guess!
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.

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?

Yes, but suspenders are optional, at least until you master Unix development.

I'm safe then. I've just about forgotten everything I knew about Unix. ;)

At my work place where there are 13 developers there are only 2 people with a beard (one of them me) And 2 friends who are also developers have started to grow a little beard after a while. So I don't know, maybe the bearded developers are the real ones ;)
mmmm.. or maybe the stereotype has faded and is in decline..

signs of one deadline too many, perhaps and not enough grooming hours?

that's the other thing: long hair. i remember that used to be trend amongst programmers too.. and then it became fashionable amongst designers.. or vice-versa- not quite sure. maybe the most hardcore engineers have long hair AND beards? :D
