Sorry people, but youv'e got it all wrong about female coders. go back to to cave man days and think what male hunters needed to know. Fistly, they had to have a mental picture of their wide geographical surroundings so they could picture their journeys to and from the cave; this knowledge corresponds to the language reference manual. Secondly they need that male ability to think ahead to catch the wooly mamoth; this is the programmers ability to write code correctly nearlt every time by mentally saying "now what if I do this....". Meanwhile, back at the cave, Mrs Cave Woman is trying to keep the place clean and tidy, feeding the children wooly mamoth broth and having a sleep. She has no need of the fine qualities of Mr Cave Man. Thus over the next few hundred million years, men still retain their mental qualities and so make much better coders than girls.
