Oh you devil, your wit has scarred me for ever. I shall henceforth sit in the dark and re-evaluate my life's decisions while sitting in the fetal position trapped by a flood of my own bitter tears.

Just out of curiosity, please e-mail me personally, and tell me what prompted you to write that reply and what your expected outcome was -- my e-mail address is publicly visible. I'm not kidding, just asking human to human, nothing to do with the discussion about this news item.

What sabotage? You play a prank on them and then show them that it was a silly coordinated Internet sort of prank, NOT REALLY TRUE. It's not like you send them the SMS and then go and take a snort in front of them.

I find it funny to startle my parents when they're not looking my way, I do that to them and they do that to me. Does that sabotage our relationship? The brief moment one feels they're in imminent danger intensifies the comedic effect which soon follows.

When did our society become one of precious little snowflakes that get overwhelmed by the stupidest pranks?
Either that or I'm just too thick skinned to discern the difference, not sure about me being a moron though.

No, at best they get you back in a funny way; at worst you freak them out for a bit and after a short laugh you set them straight.

If your parent are nutjobs and take some insane extreme measure in response then you've got serious problems and it's better you know that your parents are morons sooner rather than later.

I just stopped reading at that point, he basically belittled every young, single, childless male -- unless I misunderstood and the term "brogrammer" is somehow complimentary. If that's your basic premise then your whole argument is of no value buddy.

Also, random CEO of random start-up expresses own misguided opinion, everyone better take a knee and listen up.

I don't know, I found the title funny -- which was probably the editor's intention in the first place. And she wasn't a feminist, that word has a real meaning that I'd rather we didn't dilute; she was a prissy, attention whoring, holier-than-thou, PC bitch.

And to answer the article's question: If I were a Python dev, I wouldn't attend. That would send a more clear message to everyone involved that those situations are ridiculous than a bunch of posts on random message boards.
