I don't mean to sound sexist, but as soon as I clicked on the link and realized it was a chick, I was like "woah!" Then again, she's Asian, so I guess it all comes together.

This surprised me as well. I'm not sexist, but you don't normally picture a chick that's good looking to be such an amazing programmer. That's like, a nerds biggest fantasy right here.

Honestly... even if this was a guy it would be impressive. The fact that its a woman makes it just more awesome simply because its good to see that women have the potential to succeed. I just hope more girls follow in her foot steps. Lord knows we need more women in this business.
