I'm on my way home!
I've met incredible people.
I've learnt some powerful ideas.
I've had a lot of nerves and a lot of laughs.
Put yourself out there, do something scary - it will be worth it.
Thank you for all the support and an amazing event @kentcdodds.com and #EpicWebConf

I built an app in 20 minutes on stage at #EpicWebConf two weeks ago.
To do this, I built the same app 66 times.
Tomorrow, I'll share how you can get more predictable, quality results from Cursor too.

Would you be interested if I interviewed up and coming Indie Hackers?
