> Women who Code: always ask fellow men for help with their coding skills or just appear to not know what they were doing. Present them as sex objects, where men are thinking of them just for sex

Carla played by http://www.hbo.com/silicon-valley/cast-and-crew/alice-wetter... was a prominent woman coder with none of what you described exhibited.

Granted, I can't think of any other female coding characters on that show.

Did you mean the HBO "Silicon Valley" show or a Bravo TV series with the same name (later re-branded "Start-Ups")?

I meant the HBO one. I didn't see Carla yet, I'm in season 1 still. But so far it's not really women friendly.
