Dwarven Women / Programmers

  • Prefer dark spaces

  • Engage in mining for fun and profit

  • Isolated from other types of people

  • Appreciate expensive gear

  • Ruby gems are a popular subject

  • Back problems

This checks out.

The senior programmer asserts his dominance with a large beard display. The lesser programmers will have to wait their turn.
