After 35 years of programming, can you guess what my reply to this would be?

It really was rather boring, with 3 and 4 letter acronyms being freely thrown around, accompanied by the sound of ohs and ahs by the male participants.

How about...

These children are proud of acronyms instead of their achievements?

They actually threw out one acronym "MVC" and said if you didn't know what it meant, you probably didn't belong there. Here I was there trying to find out why their product did not work as expected or purported. I think I found out the reason.

Their proud demo moment was showing how the product had been adapted for use on the iphone. Now about 99% of us in the room had Blackberries and there was no practical reason to have their product on a phone, unless you just needed access to new background pictures all the time or something.
