Explanation

This explanation may be incomplete or incorrect: '

Cueball asks Megan what she does, and she begins by answering "I make tools that make tools." So far, this is a common expression of the way a sophisticated technology is built on simple building blocks, with one set of tools used to build a more powerful set of tools, and so on. However, the iterations are carried to comical lengths, with Megan spending twenty minutes reeling off various steps including development of software code and software code debugging and development tools. Cueball finally interrupts to ask about the ultimate objective of all these steps. Megan admits that she doesn't know, and guesses that it probably has to do with porn (a reference to the observation that many information technologies from printing to computers are quickly adopted by porn producers and distributors).
