Sometimes developers get the craziest questions and requests, most often from people who are not fully understanding what a developer actually does. The most common of those is probably that they often are confused with IT/IS staff but I have over the years even been asked to sort out printers, air conditioners, TV’s, projectors etc, just as if knowledge of those machines inner workings have come to me during my course of doing HTML/CSS/JS/PHP/C# as they apparently appear to be closely related, at least to those in my surroundings that are not developers.

As this is a general topic that crop up on most conferences (where are the girls?) combined with the fact I have worked with so many great and awesome female developers, I figured I should contribute as well, by highlighting that there indeed are many great girls out there who rarely get into the limelight or steal the honour from the boys.
