PDC05: I'm only there for the chicks

Courtesy of my employer, I have the privilege of attending this year's Professional Developers Conference.

There were chicks there? I only saw you! However, it was great to see you there.

There were chicks there?

Yes, a few! And I was all like “who let them in here?!”

Be strong, my brother.
