Kubecon CFP tips:
✅ Use real world case-studies of work you've done
✅ Invite a diverse range of speakers to tell your story

I wrote something in cursor, and the time I spent wasn't where I anticipated. It got the idea of the codebase and what I was trying to do. What it didn't grok was integration/unit tests failing shouldn't be replaced by wholesale code edits, they exist that way for a reason.
