Hey kids, meet Sara:

Sara is hot. And she's a Playboy model. And she can wipe up the floor with your posterior in a contest of code.

That's right kids, Sara can code, and she can do it faster than you.

One by one, Sara dismissed developer after humiliated developer in a contest of coding efficiency (involving the declaration of two classes, Employee and Manager, several supporting methods, properties and fields, with the requirement that Manager descends from Employee, and also holds a generic collection of Employees known as the "team").

Most contestants brought their own machines and keyboards, and several had competing tools installed, including a now infamous competing product that STILL DOESN'T HAVE SUPPORT FOR NEW LANGUAGE FEATURES IN VS 2008. Sigh. I forget the name of that tool -- I think it's Rehumper or Rehumpavision.... Maybe when they finally deliver support for C# 3.0 and VB 9.0 I'll remember their name.

A few developers even knew Sara's best time from the day before and practiced all night long to win.

Ah, but alas, all were defeated by Sara, lovely coding Sara....

So I know what you're thinking -- WTF? Playboy models can code? Where do I find these coding beauties? How come I didn't see any Playboy models in programming school? Why do all the developers I work with look like trolls?

Well kids, unfortunately it turns out that after extensive research, I've discovered that most hot chicks simply don't write code. And neither did Sara. In fact, Sara had never touched a PC (only a Mac) when we met her. But after only six hours training with CodeRush and Refactor! Pro, Sara was churning out code and refactoring complex methods at amazing speeds.

Sufficiently fast to kick some serious developer butt.

And yes kids, we'll do our best to give you a shot at a rematch, bringing Sara back to future conferences. So if you come to a conference where Sara is coding, be sure to bring your tissues, because Sara will ensure you're crying by the end.
