Yea you might want to be careful with your wording. As you might have
realised after the Titshare furore, assuming everyone is male has more
consequences than it might appear.

AngelHack IMHO is _NOT_ a 'developer hackathon' -- it is a pitching
competition.
And my partner, a female developer who would be considered a 'rock-star' if
she was male, was generally minimised and ignored by the attendees at the
AngelHack we attended despite her 15 years of experience,
These guys are idiots. Way to bring down the Aussie startup scene boys.
Behaviour like this is deplorable. The only people who would find this
'joke' funny are sexist idiots - not only is this demeaning to women, it is
demeaning to the decent men in the Aussie startup scene and is a sad
To bring a fair perspective on your partner's experience a AngelHack, even
countless times when I say I'm a .Net programmer who had developed in php
and now Ruby on Rails, most non-programmers will go clueless at .Net. So I
don't think what your partner experienced was a sexism issue. It is

So whats the deal with Zapierhttp://bit.ly/ZAPIER-App? How come they are able

Seeing as the article says they got a pretty good laugh I'd say it was a

Inexperienced entrepreneurs will always undervalue software engineering but
experienced entrepreneurs generally will not(if they want to be successful).
I think it's the case that Sydney has more inexperienced entrepreneurs than
the valley.
Engineers can make the best CEO's. Most of the best
Right, it was a comedy event, I guess I misinterpreted the story. All those
dumb easily offended feminazi types are jumping up and down because they
walked into a open-mic comedy event, and TechCrunch is apologizing because
they didn't understand the event they were trying to put on.

Geoff, I agree with you with everything except they're not 'software
dudes'. I think the reporters are quick to blame the 'brogrammer' industry
without getting the facts right!
I think this article is quite spot on:

As for your comment about jokes about minorities, it is in poor taste. And
yes, I'm judging you for it.
I'm over jerks.

Dylan, from the looks of it, you aren't a minority, and not this particular
minority (women) anyway, so you don't get to say what their reaction should

Absolutely true Michael!! This is actually what is holding back OZ and

The ranking varies but it hasn't moved up since Startup Genome report a few
years ago. A quick Google will show recent reports.

First, let me qualify myself:

Well, women are not a minority. They account for pretty much 50% of the
population. That said, I'm not saying what their reaction should have been,
only that I'm sick of our general culture of overreaction to half-truths.
Telling me what I get to say is somewhat hypocritical from someone
Hi Jiri,
Except it was not a comedy event - it was a professional industry event.
Sexist remarks have no place in a work context.

Really? You would rather exclude the developer who was presenting a
