On top of being embarrassed for doing this on stage, these people should be embarrassed for presenting such a fucking dumb idea for a hackathon.
On an 100% unrelated note, Adria Richards has transitioned from "Technology Evangelist" to "Programmer"?

- JonFish85 13y agoRegardless, I stand by my statement: dumb fucking idea. Even if it was supposed to be a joke. That's when you make the "Hillary Clinton Quote Generator", "Virtual High 5 App", "I'm Pissed Button" or whatever. If you're trying to get laughs by going with sexual jokes, you're not funny.

- Torgo 13y agoPerhaps it's just for the convenience of their audience. Instead of 99% of people not knowing what her job description entails, by substituting "programmer" it is reduced to to 90%.
