#12"Puerile sniggering at breasts contributes to the continuing impression that software development is a boys club where girls aren't welcome" This is a primary building block of such articles. But in fact magic numbers are kind of art: good art shocks you a little - or a lot; more for people who are less free. Who gets offended by big boobs? People who think they are religious, as if Jesus had anything against boobs;…
I guess people should read less xkcd and more http://wumocomicstrip.com/
To not only get smarter but also crawl outside of their bubble.

#13Wow. This is a pretty dumb article.
This is worse then some of the shit on reddit.

#14I'm left wondering now what on earth those engineers were thinking.
Did they really not understand that this was going into an open source project? Or did the Microsofties somehow think this would work as an elaborate way of discrediting the Linux project?

#16Until it is proven that the coder who put that in was, in fact, a male it is highly sexist to just assume that it was a man and that ladies are not capable of being childish or being into big boobs as well. ;)

"but is this the reason to harm art?"
No.
But it's a damn good reason to keep your so-called "art" out of the workplace. Keep your "art" in the galleries where it belongs.

Why would we? Because you tell us so? Guess what - you fit the profile; "people who are afraid of any life because life is non-professional".
Making you feel uncomfortable might cure you one day, we're be trying like Hippocrates supposed us to.
Galleries are the places where art dies. If you'll consult art history, you'll not see much straight-to-gallery art. It had some purpose. It was built into lives.
Modern art should be on streets, it should be embedded into city (or code). In fact, in any city there's a lot of accidental art. Something random but just too good.

It is fully how people now are forced to acknowledge lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual coders, but they fail to grind to acknowledge big boobs in the code.
Hint: if you have coders with gender, you get code with gender.

#20So writing 'big boobs' in hexspeak makes you sexist....
I have a problem understanding this.
Whom should this offend?
How does this offend anyone?
How is it sexist when it didn't even specify the which sex's boob it is referring to?
If I name something 'curly_blond_hair' in my code, is that sexist?
