Better recruiting tool: Make an office that female developers want to work in, the male developers will follow.

I'm not sure recruiting desperate and socially akward dudes who are going to get all creepy weirdo on the female staff is the best recruitment strategy I've ever heard.

I have to keep reminding them that women usually do NOT want to hear about the problems they were having with their barcode scanner scanning in their comic book collections

I want to second this --- I don't like working in places that are exclusionary, that privilege gender (or, say, ethnicity0 above talent. It's not about the eye candy. Generally places that you'd only want to work if you were male are not places I want to work.

Um...yeah. I think the biggest draw of any office is the pussy. That's what I care about.
But I don't think you'd want female developers. Female sales staff, female secretaries, etc.
Nice office, but without nice pussy, what's the point?
