I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve worked with a female developer peer either.  Those women twenty-five years ago (I erred in saying it was only twenty) were senior to me.  What&#x27;s really scary is that we do have a few female developers on my team now . . . in Bangalore.  Here in the US, we&#x27;ve actually fallen behind in terms of maintaining an environment that&#x27;s appealing to developers who aren&#x27;t young, (culturally) white, and male.  That does not augur well for our future.
