This is an industry where 60 hour weeks are not uncommon

I sure as heck don't work 60 hours weeks. Maybe twice a year. I do muse over things quite a bit though... perhaps that is billable ;-)

I don’t work 60 hour weeks either, never have, but in college when you’re looking at jobs... and all the guys want to go work for Google or Microsoft or Blizzard or some other big infotech or gaming company, and that’s the kind of pace they set there, it can be daunting.

There are women in CS and I don’t think we need more affirmative action, but there are reasons beside “girls are dumb” why a woman wouldn’t necessarily take that path.
