For the record I've only ever met one gay programmer and he was "bad".

He'd never coded prior to school, and he treated it purely as a "career" in which he thought he could make "good money".

It was his attitude towards the profession and not his actual skill that bothered me. An earnest but poor programmer can be fixed and is respectable, the sort of fuck that floods our profession with these ideas that we make insane money or something is obnoxious.

EDIT: Never gave a shit or a thought at any point to the fact that he was gay.
