In my experience, a lot of boys have acted that way towards me because they've honestly never met a woman who can code. It takes a little bit before they warm up to that fact.

After a while, if they're still being a dick, I'll just go somewhere else and find people to work with that aren't egocentric and dumb.

That's one of the reasons why working with my brother is so awesome--he knows me well and doesn't assume I'm a "non-computer-person".

GIRLS DO THIS TOO. Some girls also assume that girls are less technically inclined.

My whole life, I've just had to keep on going and showing people what I'm capable of. Since I'm a white girl who likes wearing dresses, people don't expect it, but they find out soon enough.
