Shut up and build something

Concept is solid. If you want to be taken seriously as a developer, make a splash as a developer; expecting attention for being a girl is counterproductive.<p>Execution needs work. Running girldeveloper.com does not immediately communicate to me that this is someone whose identity is invested in being a developer. Otherwise it'd be HaskellRocks.com or something.

It's interesting that she thinks more women need to succeed <i>for other women</i>. Why can't women just succeed for themselves? Have the passion and drive to create -- for themselves? Why does it need to be for someone else?<p>I reckon few men think to themselves, "I need to be successful to be an inspiration to other men. To show other men that men can succeed at this."

<i>Shut up and sell something</i> is more accurate for me.

I think it's neat. You don't hear much about web applications in .NET on HN.
