"Error establishing a database connection"

I knew it. My dreams of hacking with a beautiful girl have once again been dashed on the rocks of virtual reality.

//After reading actual article.

Why was I right? :(

Well maybe this is why she is looking for a technical cofounder.

Am I the only one who is a bit offended by the cleavage shot on a post about looking for a CTO? Not by the cleavage shot itself, but by the idea that she thinks it might help her get a CTO.

Now that I think about it though, sadly, it might.

From the title and picture, at first I thought she was looking for a date.

edit: She changed her Facebook profile picture to that photo about 4 days before the article was posted. She's also made it her Twitter avatar (@marenkate). So I guess it's not a joke, and it's not about getting a CTO. That's just how she represents herself online.

I wasn't offended per se, but it did make me think a bit about sexual politics in the workplace.

I know my technical soul mate is out there somewhere – it’s just a process of kissing enough geeky frogs to get to the geeky prince charming i.e. technical co-founder of my dreams.

Ew. Really? Obviously she can use her hotness to get geek boys to rally to her cause, but ultimately shouldn't it be the strength of her ideas that sells the position?
