@chr1sl0gan Are there going to be any women involved?


Getting distracted from tech conference by reading latest developments in Binary Capital scandal. And then I look around and see no women. 😕


Okay, that was a lie. I can see four women.

Diversity and inclusion panel at lunch. This is good content – should be on main stage! #MSBuildTour @bigyahu @chr1sl0gan https://t.co/RRgnI9HwjL
