A still from the Yahoo Hack Day in Taiwan

Let me be the first to say before people all over the internet oh and ah and make a big deal from nothing. STFU! K thanks bye.

So what happened is, Yahoo had an event in Taiwan, an open hack day. The point of these open hack days are to give developers a chance to show Yahoo their mad skillz and have a chance at winning a cool prize. When I travel, I go by the when in Rome philosophy. So when Yahoo is in Taiwan, they did what is socially and culturally acceptable. Big freakin’ deal. Now the western world wants to hold Yahoo accountable for what? Doing something fun that is accepted in said country? Uhm okay… They want to blame this type of event for the lack of female web geeks. Uhm okay… maybe most women just do not care about code or web development. I care enough to code this post, I love the internet and I like to know how to do things on the web, but I have no desire to fully code products, and my general disinterest is not because of some dancing girls.

So here is my meager reaction to the “shocking” hack day in Taiwan. How about all who are offended get over themselves and find out if any of the people who were actually there were offended. I highly doubt that.
