Why not? If it was worth mentioning that the profession of the "developer" in question is, it's worth mentioning what the sex of the person is. Well done on nitpicking. Feminist pricks.

Race? 100m for people with no sense of direction.
Age? middle
Country of origin? Current thinking is North Africa, maybe Egypt, then humans slowly migrated across all the land mass.
Religion? Helps in the dark pit of night.
Does that help?

Rsole
I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days

Such a nice quote. Seriously, I feel your pain.
PS: I'm not an "Rsole"
(PPS: is it still 'an' and not 'a' when using illegal abreviations, whilst being a little hipocritical with your quote?)

What, exactly, is an Rsole??

Jeez, is that the letter 'a'?

Why? It doesn't have any bearing on the code.

That has a bearing on the code. The sex of the person doesn't.

You're just being a bigotted sexist pig, and people are rightly offended by such an obnoxious attitude.

I agree. The quality of the code written does not have any real relation to the gender of the individual. It is more of the individual and the background, training, mentoring that they have received when learning to code.

It's called: "being ironic", feminist pricks? blah...
In my limited years of coding, I have found that female code, must not be maintained. It will work and most of the time you can build over it, but (and yes, she does have a very nice one), working with a man, who wrote such code, I would seriously (and surely you agree) kick him in the nads, even if he were a priest by proffesion.
A woman on the other hand would cut of my f*%$ing head without so much as a backward glance if I even peep about her code being (unreadable) and men and woman are just different. That's a fact. Programming is basically a text representation of a train of thought of an individual within a certain set of rules. And men and woman just don't think the same, don't have the same goals, don't have the same set of rules, don't have the same taste in beverage, don't have the same anatomy (although, I do have a nice pair of tits, that may come in handy), and so on and so forth.
You can kindof see the direction I'm pointing myself in here, going for the "ignorance" plea.
Feminists? Man, I hate feminists. I hate racists. I hate all types of "-ists", especially those that grow on my ass(cysts, you get it?). Taking it too far. If the situation were turned around, you won't see people berating me about being a, what, hipocrit?

I'm sorry you've had such bad experiences, but mine have been the opposite.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

Female <- not biased, just stating the fact
One of my (female) colleague accepts the fact that females aren't technically that sound. (I just mentioned her thought, not mine ! )
- Malli...!

Not saying females aren't technically sound, just saying their track record isn't exactly up to scratch, which is kind of contradicting myself, so ignore my first statement...
|
|
|
|
|
Because it is a proof of the long held belief that (generally) women can not program. There are exceptions of course, but overall male programmers out number female programmers at least 2,3 to 1.

Not sure about the sql query your colleague wrote. That had to be a joke on a dull Friday afternoon

I have a couple of apps that I maintain (originally written by, yes, a female, human as well, and an entry-level developer) who constantly checked for (boolean_value = true).

LMAO...Reading this, I was suddenly taken back to Irving M. Copi's _Introduction_to_Logic_, which I used as a textbook for an independent study in high school...it's the definition of a tautology...making it "too true"

I just found this in the project that I inherited ... it is working code. You don't have to be expert in ColdFusion to see that's something wrong with this
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="1">
<cfloop list="#structKeyList(xnA)#" index="x">
<cfset y='xnA['&i&'].'&#x#&'.XMLtext'>
<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(clientQuery,"#x#",#evaluate(y)#, #i#)>
</cfloop>
</cfloop>

That's nothing wrong, it's simply a respectable horror.
