Arfa, a promising software programmer from Faisalabad, Pakistan, is believed to be the youngest Microsoft Certified Professional in the world. [...] Arfa received the certification when she was still 9, an impressive accomplishment in its own right, according to older programmers who have gone through the process.

Recounting their conversation, Arfa said Gates acknowledged her concerns and talked about the broader industry's struggles to increase the proportion of women in technology-related fields.
...but probably didn't use those words exactly

Just give her a few more years, and she'll sacrifice her life to allah. What a waste.

Hmmm, certifications aren't that big of a deal. I personally find inolen's accomplishments to be more impressive.

She merelly took a test and got a certification. Inolen began to program as a hobby and got a job in the game industry. His knowledge of programming rivals that of masters students. Trust me, I know.
You tell me which of the two is most impressive.
