What get's me the most is the overall assumption seems to be that the ladies there were too good looking to be developers. I can't picture a more sexist thought process than "Oh hey there cute girl, who paid you to come to this?" It's probably the single most damaging assumption made, that a good looking female must have never tried being smart because ya know, sexiness and stuff.
I thought the same until I read "Yeah, I spoke to someone who was 'paid to party', as she put it [...]"
This is not news, it's source-less "he said she said".
