Well it depends what kind of prostitution she did.
If we compare the scenario for programmers in some companies like 12 
hours per day, a miserable salary, no motivation at all, dumb managers, 
no weekends, no holidays, huge concentration of people in a tiny space, 
projects with no future and a many other non-sense experiences, well 
maybe she enjoyed prostitution better than another psychological torture.

So it depends what kind of experience she had in the development world 
or what kind of idea she has about it. I worked as a developer and 
system administrator. I had good and bad experiences as a developer. I 
had a bad one just because I chose the bad company to work for and 
believe me it was a psychological torture, due to the people, the 
company and the environment. But I have great experiences as well 
because I worked in the right place.

Anyway she should not generalize in that way, saying that software 
development is such a bad and dirty work. In fact generalizations like 
that should not be done, not only for programmers.
