Girl Power

The general testosterone-charged atmosphere of the Tech industry is well-reflected in our office. Most of the developers are men boys, and almost all of them exhibit the TNL (Tunay Na Lalaki) gene it sometimes smells like your brother's room up in here.

(Amoy lalaki = a combination of stale sweat, cigarettes, and suspicious bodily fluids)

Why a girl would want to be in this milieu is beyond my feminine sensibilities, but we do have a few good women willing to give these boys a run for their money.
