    Apart from the risk of getting sacked

    Forking and Dongle Jokes Don’t Belong At Tech Conferences - But You're A Girl -

    They sound REALLY dull.

    A quick word would have solved it without embarrassing people with their peers. She might even have done it without drawing attention to herself.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        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?
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Those 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.
            Hard Brexit now!

              Maybe the moral is that if you go to python or perl conferences, or anything similar, you're bound to meet the kind of guys who think dongle and fork jokes are hilariously funny
