The guy who did C and Ruby on rails don't have glasses - wonder what there secrets are

 

I can safely say I don't think I will be a hard core coder although I do enjoy it, just need a mac book pro laptop so I can dual boot it and use it at work

Many have beards?

 

I prefer to shave got youth looks to keep up.

You can definitely see an evolution from full on nerd with fortran, some hippies with Unix and C, an evil genius with C++, someone who likes to things differently with Perl, Python is a drunk geek, Ruby is for hipsters and PHP is a bit well.... Edited May 6, 2011 by somabc

Why are they all men? Where are all the women?

The only one I can find is Hedy Lamarr, inventor of the "Spread Spectrum" Technology.

There are lots of female programmers; Grace Hopper !?! STP was invented by Radia Perlman and Bletchley park was stacked with female programmers.
