Why is the $12,000 "Coder" school only for females? It does remind me of the store keepers who sold miners overpriced goods for their dream? I have a feeling, if these women are hired; it has more to do with companies wanting the hidden benefits of a female's presence in the office?

This term Coder has always irritated me. I'm surprised it's not on Tee Shirts yet? "I'm a Coder", or better yet, "I'm a Koder". All very cute.

Right now--I guess in San Francisco--you can go to one if these schools, and land a cute job as a Coder--at 90K?

I wonder if these people will be employed when the bubble ends though?
