      I'm sure they had more than one shared interest. There's certainly tech, for example, given that it's a tech conference. But the focus tends to be on alcohol when everyone at the event is handed a beer ticket.

Agree that tech is a shared interest, but I talk and think about code during all work day. Don't wanna bond over that also when I have something else to talk about
