The title “Cocktails for programmers” gives me the same feeling as would the phrase “Leaf blowers for stamp collectors”. Yes, a stamp collector might use a leaf blower, but it would not be relevant to collecting stamps. On the contrary, using a leaf blower while collecting stamps would be… inadvisable.

#96I suppose 'brainfuck' would be a Absinthe mix of some sort
Absinthe + pear juice is great. Also absinthe + energy drink of some sorts. Though somewhat good absinthe is necessary for it as fake/cheap brands are really horrible.

#97C is pure vodka, hard, powerful and without any flavor. Assembly is pure ethanol. Still thinking how would VHDL be... thinking about raw sugar cane to make your own alcohol from there.

#99First we had the 'how to shoot yourself in the foot in X language' jokes.
Now we'll have jokes about what cocktails different programming languages would be. Not bad, I might compile them in a page some day.

I can appreciate not liking the brogrammer phenomenon, and not being interested in conferences that are so party-focused, but this guy really has a huge bug up his ass about other people enjoying themselves. "I'm not interested in 'partying hard', I want to talk with like-minded people about subjects I don't necessarily get to talk about at the office." Well, guess what, you can't force people to sit down and talk no…
Apparently, if you give most technical conference attendees the option (and venue, drinks, transport, etc), they will opt for going drinking in environments not suited for conversation. If this happens, I interpret it as a failure of the conference organizers. Why? Because their job is to organize a conference, not a party. If they want to leave some time for people to party (or pray, or go skinny-dipping, or windsurfing, etc.), then they can do so. However, to actively encourage people to be non-networking and to not talk (usefully) about the actual conference topic is, in my view, an anti-pattern of conferences.
