Programmers and Gender

A thought-provoking, short survey shows that women compose only a petite 3% of famous programmers. Recalling my awful memory from debugging another girl's program in my first programming class in HK, to coding the whole project in a group of 2 girls in DE; nothing seems to have changed in the past 5 years, which parallels the following ill logic: Isn't it a big surprise that the first programmer was Ada.

Although the deduction is ill, the observation is still valid. Sad thing is so many women chose to do IT when they don't like it, and then they live to hate it.
