   "programming is serious and not a game [..] stop with the outfits and princess programmer stuff"

   I think we should all start writing software and giving talks while wearing princess dresses. ????

     @Mara That was just "I was an asshole to my 9yo daughter. Am I The Asshole?". Incredible.

     Also yes please, princess programming sound amazing.

     @Mara
     This can't be real, but who could make this up?

     Maybe his daughter should start doing livecoding sessions. I'm sure we could all learn something from a self-taught 9/10 year old who is writing 'decently complex' games that don't crash in C++. The princess dress would be a nice bonus.

     @Mara UPDATE: Now she's learning Rust and wants me to buy a full-body fox costume for her to wear while she is programming. Should I be worried?

     @Mara To paraphrase an old tweet: “you’re not a coding ninja or superstar. You’re a sparkly code princess.”

     I’ve already got that as my (internal-only) title, so now I just need the dress! :)

     @Mara what a horrible person, programmer and parent. Total asshole.

     His daughter on the other hand is an awesome programmer princess ? I would be so proud. At that age getting c++ where everyone else is using scratch. Wow ?

     @Mara If your nine year old understands pointers and you tell her that her code sucks, something is very wrong with you.

     @Mara what is wrong with this guy? I would have been so excited if any of my kids took this much interest in coding.
