A friend of mine, who's a lead developer on a major app that I’m absolutely sure you’ve heard of (and have probably used) was asked a question last night that pissed both of us off:

“Do you work in design or HR?”

This friend is a woman. This woman is at WWDC. This woman has coding chops that could kick your ass.

Do not make assumptions about _anyone_ at a conference.

When you do, you look like a dumbass.

@chockenberry I once went to a party thrown by a major tech company at a big tech conference. Trying to make conversation, I asked the woman I was talking to, who had a badge from the party sponsor, what she did there.

"I'm the CEO," she told me.

Oops. I was very embarrassed.

@blp @chockenberry watched a new hire ask the company CEO this, it was a good time. 😂

Totally innocent but yeah
