      Sure. I’ve known several crappy women programmers, but they get pushed out of the industry. The guys are more likely to fail upward.

      Where I am? Possibly, but I think it’s also possible that we have an environment that appreciates diversity, so talented people who have had to put up with crap other places tend to stick around here. People who don’t face any sort of discrimination might be as likely to leave as they would anywhere. Several years ago, we had a few consecutive years of downsizing, so the people who remained were all pretty sharp.

      I really love the environment where I work. Brilliant people doing some very cool stuff, and most are really nice to deal with. I would enjoy having dinner with every single one of my employees.
