I've been working in the software industry for twenty years as well and hired hundreds of programmers. Not once have I seen a woman programmer who is above average on man scale.
In my experience, it's not necessarily an intelligence problem but rather a passion one. I have never met a woman who had had spent their teen years alone at home coding. But plenty of men who have.
