What does your attendance of this forum make you? A groupy? A "1337" walt?Originally posted by sasguru View PostThose guys are how I picture most of you.
Not surprising about the innuendo, its probably the closest they've got to sex for years.
BTW, why do techies have to go out of their way to conform to stereotype - beards, crap clothes and Fnah Fnah jokes FFS, that's so old skool.

I don't want to burst her bubble, but someone needs to point out that a 'successful' start up is one that has moved on from describing itself as a start up. And if she really thinks that getting kids female or otherwise to write python is the 'future of programming' then she needs help.
Having got that off my chest, I have to ask does she enjoy playing with big snakes?
