@HerraBRE I mocked PHP as a Perl coder, but I gotta admit, going to YAPC-NA 2017 was... interesting. One of the hotel maids asked me at the elevator, in broken English: "What is this? You are... only woman?" Uh, yeah, you're not kidding lady. 😬 I think there were four or five of us, out of a couple hundred.
(And I am told the community has gotten downright toxic since then. I dunno, I only keep in touch with a few of the guys.)
