I'm in IT. I'm used to being one of very few women in my group. Periodically I get an IM from somebody or other saying, "You'll tell me if you mind my language, right?"
Back when I was in school, I took a look at programming a couple of times, but never actually took a course. I remember going to the first class of a programming course. The lecturer told us where we could find the game "Hunt the Wumpus." (This would have been in the mid 1970s.) I wasn't interested in playing Hunt the Wumpus. If they had gotten straight to the hardcore programming grammar, I might have stuck around.
Julia would have Hunted the Wumpus, so that when she tracked it down she could play Hypnotize the Wumpus.
