I honestly don't think it's a big deal. Don't be so prude!

It is not prudish to think this is immature. I like boobs and I like tech conferences. But not at the same time. There is no synergy there.
Its not a boob themed hackathon. It's a one-off comment in a shitty funny website.

Yeah it's immature. Its not worth getting upset about though.

I think it's a huge deal. I'm not offended by sexual language at all, but it usually isn't appropriate for a professional context as it can feel hostile and exclusionary, and in an industry with as few women as there are in tech, it's absolutely essential that we don't do this.
