Girl programmers

Interesting rant.

Hm, well, I'm not nearly as cool, my taste in clothes sucks and I spend my life in front of the computer wearing hole-covered jeans, but I do have to agree on one point. Indeed the best guys I've ever dated were programmers and others assorted computer geeks. I discriminate against windows users though.. we just don't speak the same language.

you know, by admitting that you're into other geeks, but that you descriminate against windows users, you're coming dangerously close to my definition of the perfect woman...

I married a programmer. And she is the least Geek-like of almost anyone I know.

kasia, dont be such a buzzkill to yourself. You know what makes you look beautiful more than anyone else. kasia, you shouldnt make statements about yourself you cant justify, Thats why you feel so uncool. Love yourself for what you are, not for what you wish you werent. Give it a thought or two (or more), if you'd like.

I dont advise thinking too hard about Chiara's site though. Its filled with manipulative paradoxes that are liable to have you running in circles until you are burnt out. Of course her site is cool, but its hazardously manipulative.

I think cigarettes are cool too, but I dont smoke them very often because they're just too poisonous. Maybe someday they'll make them satisfactorily unpoisonous, but right now, we're all better off doing something else.

Hey. The NT kernel is pretty decent, and by extension, us Windows kernel programmers are pretty decent people too.

(Well, some of us are.)

So, cut the discrimination :-)

you might be nice people, but your code is of high school level. :-)
